i somehow end up with a nail in my tire.. i went to closest place to fix it, and i told the guy to be careful and not to scratch my 20" chrome rim.. he said we do it very careful but we can not be responsible but he'll do hes best.. so when they were trying to take off tire from the rim he put a big *** hole on it.. and now he saying i told you we can not be responsible and this things happens with low profile all the time..

i'm so pissed its not even funny! this tire will cost me at least $300 plus its better to put 2 same tires so i have to spend at least $600 now..

#$%#%$# i dont know what to do!

Damn, that sucks bro.. I would keep nagging them and make them pay for it.. "We are not responsible" is a load of crap..

Which place did u go to?

yeah it's always the risk i guess low profile tires like 19s and 20s, they are so thin and the sidewall is so stiff and hard to work with, a lot of times when they try to take it off they crack it or damage it. that's why unless you get a very experienced shop, it's really possible that they can damage the tire... very bad indeed

i only take my rims to places that sell 20in + rims and tires.

you can buy 2 new tires and sell back the good one to someone.

Next time, try to find a shop with a Corghi Artiglio Master mounting machine.

These are the coolest things since sliced bread- they don't even touch the rim (they hold the wheel through the lug holes). They are essentially automated, and have nylon wheels & arms which to the mounting/dismounting. I have never heard of a tire being damaged with one of these machines.

Not many shops have them because they are bout $14,000...
