Oh no lol! That must have been really annoying, my guy is really good and always sets up my stuff exactly correct and to spec.
On the W12 I only needed .5 Oz on one rim to balance them out so I'm really pleased about that.....I'm not pleased about that road hazard I ran over two weeks back. It killed my front right rim so I'm out $1850 or insurance claim.

Old, about 10-15k over mileage spec. Even like this they still performed well.
New CC2s, even just going up and down the driveway these are a massive improvement!
New PSAS4s
The uprated size added about 4mm past the face of the rim, the OE size is perfectly flush. I like the slight protrusion and this size is $700 a set less than the OE Audi only size.
All cars are done, most are now on PSAS4s except the LS430 since it needs the CC2s for winter lol!

Oh I was so mad. My shop always does a great job too, but they fell down this time. To their credit there is a very small "OUTSIDE" label, but still, just looking at the sidewalls it's his probably goes without saying, obvious what side goes out. I was leaving the next day on a trip and had to run around and get them remounted before I left.

This probably goes without saying, but mounting tires inside-out like that can be a real problem if they are uni-directional tires. They could be spinning in the wrong direction, possibly causing internal damage or weakening. I'm not necessarily saying the shop should fire the technician involved (all humans make mistakes)......but the technician should be made aware, by his or her boss, that it was a significant error, and not to be repeated.
