Default Ahhh.... spring is here in Chicago (mid 40s)

SO i gambled on no more snow and put my G-spiders back on at lunch... can't say I am sad to say good buy to those 06' GS wheels for the next 6 or 7 months... but a peculiar thing happend...

some of you heard about my recent rash of flats... i discovered today that my winter tires were staggered as well because the service guy informed me that i had three tires that were the same and one that was smaller...

so now i have to go over to the other dealership that i replaced my flat at to find out what happened... it had to have been after my first flat where i had to replace the rim as well as the tire...

so when i got the second flat they told me the rim was slightly bent but drivable and they would place it in the back with possible vibrations at high speeds... but that never happend cause i don't commute on the highway to often... at anyrate now i have to hope their repair order shows their mistake... but we'll see...

At anyrate, i will have to settlle on dealing with me G-spiders...

Looks like an honest mistake that should be corrected by the dealer. Sometimes, their is a specific serial number on the sidewall that the dealer will write down.
