Barry Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Yep, seen it a hundred times! Tire guys must just get so sick of busting tires all day that they don't respect your property and all the hard work you put into keeping them nice! Where has customer service gone in this world??

kevin mccune Posted May 28, 2006 Author Share Posted May 28, 2006 Be a man get your oun tire hammer and bars and do it your selfHave own tire tools- been beating em down for thirty years for the other guy.When I've cut right of way all day or been in the ditch all day, the last thing I want to do is change tires-you are right 22.5 's are easy to change . But the only shop I have is a 24x24 garage in the middle of nowhere-full of Junk with a single stage compressor.no tire deliverys either.There is no reason people cannot respect your property and take care of it-I try to respect others belongings-Service today generally sucks, can give you several horror stories from around here-Kevin Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/1129-aluminum-budds/#findComment-5918 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmackattack Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 its not just truck rims that I see abused by shops, car and bike rims get the same treatment???Just picked up some bike tires and had them balanced. I went to pick them up and saw those stick on weights on the rims. I asked why they did not use the weights that mount to the spokes?? he just looked at me funny, I said please do it right. for a $35 a tire balance fee you should get them back washed and a nice chrome valve cap...(i got a plastic one)same with car rims.My friend just got a nice set of "Bling Bling" rims and guess where the weights were? on the out side??
