I have snow tires on separate rims, and brought them to Discount Tire on State Street to install them for the winter. The next day at highway speed there was a wobble, so I brought them back. The technician there said that two rims were slightly out of balance, and they corrected the problem. The wobble was still there at high speed. I called Discount Tire back and they said it was likely either my ball bearings or my alignment. I took my car to my mechanic for the wobble and a brake problem as well. He said that I had two different brands of snow tires, and instead of putting the same tires on the front and the back, the same tires were on the left and the right. I brought my car back to Discount Tire, and a manager took a look at it. I said that the tires were different, and he said, they’re all the same size. I literally took him behind my car and showed him the different tread on the left and right rear tires. I told him to fix it immediately. Their day was busy, but I wanted him to put my car in the next open bay, considering that this was my third time there. He made me wait an hour. I will never go to this business again.
