so, today i finally decided to go do some tire shopping for a winter setup, jus to get some pricing, so i happen to pull up in sts. As soon as i walk in the guy tells me, wow your rims look nice. Thanks man, i reply. Than he proceeds to tell me that i need air in my tires because its cold outside and that makes the tires loose air. So i reply yeah i havent checked in about 3 weeks. so he tells me "don't worry about it. We'll take care of you!" in my head im like wow....pretty good service. Than i continue to talk to him about tires while he gets someone to pump some air in my tires. i get a couple of high qoutes like 1300 for 4 tires so decide its time to leave. As im driving i hear a pop nose coming from my rear right tire and my stearing wheel starts shaking like crazy, i thought i got a flat. I happen to be right outside of nissan on route 9 so i pull in and tell them the problem. The service guy and i both go to check out the tires and there is no noticible flat anywhere. they tell me to have a seat and about an hour later the guy comes to me and tells me theire is 80psi in my rear right tire and my max is 45. Now there are tiny bubbles in my tire that is making my car shake. The best part about this story is that i go what should i do and he tells me i have to replace the tire immediately. its dangerous. So i say okay lets do that, how much will it cost. He tells me.. I'm sorry we cant touch your tires because your 20 inch rims will get messed up by our machine. Okay so what should i do, i reply. he tells me to go to goodyear not even 2 miles back, so i go. when i get there goodyear guy tells me the same thing, and also he doesn't have tires that big to replace it with. And he has no clue who would be able to help me in jersey. Now i know im not the only person in central jersey with 20 inch rims. how am i going to fix this problem. I'm not mad at sts either because the tire needed to be replaced anyway. it had a slow leak, and it was balding. i just dont know what to do or where to go...

 

I would go back to the place that pumped the tire up to 80psi and try to get them resolve your problem. Good luck in any event.

 

i'm pretty sure there are places that can do it being that there are loads of escalades, etc. riding on 26s and 28s with some expensive shoes. i would go try a shop that deals with big body vehicles?

 

Call around- check some performance tire/wheel shops.
Where did you get them installed?

 

80 psi????? What kind of an incompetent moron fills a tire to near double its rating?

 

whos dumb enough to put 80 psi on 20" lmao

Follow this link and enter in your zip code. It will list partners of Tire Rack who will certainly have enough sense to mount a tire on to a 20" wheel. I would verify that the installer you go to has a Hunter Road Force balancing machine as well. It is one of the more advanced balancing machines on the market and will ensure your tires are balanced under an artifical load that simulates driving on the street.

 

go to unique whips and have them put on Pirelli P-zero's!!!!!

 

looks like they "took care of you", prison-style. i'd go back there and tell them they better pay for at least one of your tires for that negligent act. it ruined your tire almost immediately and put you at risk to cause an accident on the road. be sure to talk to the branch manager.

 

lol i would go back there and kick his ****

 

wow that is retarted

 

yeah, everything is squared away i found a place that does them, but my question is, im about to change for a winter setup probably in a month, so i was curious for now do i need to buy 2 new rear tires or can i jus replace the one for now?

 

dude i would go back and complain and threaten them or some shizit. Id make them replace the tire they messed up. WTF was in this guys head? 80PSI!! thats just crazy.

 

the same guy that puts in 7 gallons of oil at the oil change.

 

well they gave me a discount on my new tire so im cool now they say it costed 299 plus balancing and i paid 125 so im not that heated anymore
