Speaking of stupid tire problems....

I just realized this about 2 weeks ago. After I had taken my car to Calgary and gotten the Ford mechanic to balance and align my wheels...he told me there was a problem with my tires. He said that my front tires (which are directional tread) were mounted on the wrong way, so that they were rollling backwards! I was suprised, however believed every word he said. He said he would remount them no charge and put them back on for me.

Just 2 weeks ago though, I was talking to oneofthefewproud about those chrome wheels that were on backwards. After peeking outside, I saw mine were the right way........ON THE BACK!

We crapola no wonder the tires were backwards....dumba$$! He had mixed up the front wheels so they are now rotating the wrong way...and saw the tread was backwards so he switched those! So now I'm driving around with my rear wheels turing the right way and my front wheels turning backwards...and I can't just swap them because the tire direction will be wrong now!!! Arg!!! So I complained and they said they would be happy to fix the problem....to bad I'm 1000 miles from there right now.... Sigh...
