Gripe!
I bought Bridgestone (Portenza RE910) tires last year at a Firestone dealer. Mostly because he was close and I wanted easy access to balancing and rotating. BOY was THAT a mistake. NEVER AGAIN!
After they mounted the new tires they balanced the tires several times and it was never been quite right. Finally took it to the dealer and lo-and-behold I have a huge dent in my rim. It was clearly visible after you took the wheel off. Do these places that 'specialize' in tires hire blind employees! They could have killed me. I almost feel like going to them to complain that my tire was at risk of seperating from the rim because of the dent! The dent is all better now. Had it de-dented for 80 bucks. I'm learning more and more about my baby's previous owner........and about my escalating lack of trust. Next time maybe I'll just break down and a buy new car....no wait I can't do that. I just can't see myself in ANYTHING else but my beloved SVX!!!! I just can't bare to think 10-20 years down the road when I'll have to retire my SVX.
