I am presently in hatred with Tire Kingdom. Back in Feb. I got BFG g-force sport tires through them when they were on sale in Tampa where i go to college. Paid $550 or so for all 4 mounted, balanced, and for the lifetime balance/rotate dealy they have. Well, on April 29th I had come home for the Steeda Focus day in Ft Lauderdale. I decided to change my oil because I had just bought Royal Purple and wanted to try it out. I had only put about 2500 miles on the car since late Feb when i got the tires. Go to take the passenger side front tire off and change the oil (it gives me room under there and gave me a chance to clean out the inside of the rim). What do I find? One of the lugs is stripped. Well, i was mad and thought that with a little more force it would come off.......no, the lug bolt itself twisted off! Furious I went down the road after putting 3 lugs back to the local tire kingdom. They fixed it for me, but because they couldnt reach the Tampa tire kingdom I had to pay for it ($106 i didnt have...) and reconcile when i got back up to tampa. Bright and early monday morning I went in up in tampa and talked to the manager and he said he would take care of it. 4 weeks later I finally got the check.
Now I am back down in Ft Lauderdale. In the last month and a half i have put 3500 miles on my car with the royal purple, so i changed my oil. Guess what? a differnt lug is stripped!!!! this time it twisted off but i am not threading it back on. My dad is going to come home and look at it before I go in and have the [][][][] heads over at tire kingdom look at it.
Anyone else have problems like this, or am I the only one to have tire kingdom screw up 2 lugs in a matter or months? I almost want them to give me back all my money and the tires and i will go else where to find tires. How do you strip 2 lugs? How? over worked and under paid workers dont care, the just use their "blast all nuts off/on" air tools and dont take the time to thread the lugs. [?|] [?|] [?|] [}]
rant is over!
