Came here on Labor Day 2017 for a used pair of 265/35/20 Pirellis that I seen on Craigslist and a couple hours later, my TPMS light came on. I stop and get all my tires filled but the light never turns off. The next morning comes, the light is still on, I drive to work. Around lunch time, I come out to my car and see the tire is deflated so I drive to get it filled or even repaired (I'm thinking that I've ran over something). I get to Discount Tire and they tell me that it can't be repaired as it was significant tire wall damage. I have to buy another tire.
Not only that, but they damaged my wheel hub when they were rotating my tires. They somehow threaded the seat of the wheel hub by continuously torquing the lug and beating the stud. I saw them beating the stud and trying to do everything possible to get the wheel off but didn't think that they were damaging the hub. I'm at Nalley Infiniti in Marietta right now, 9/14/17, and they showed me where it was damaged. This can only be fixed by using a stud with a wider seat or if that doesn't work, the entire wheel hub has to be replaced, which is $700.
I was thinking about letting this slide if I just needed a wheel stud but now that they showed me the damaged hub, I may have to file a lawsuit in small claims court. read more
