Mounted my Bridgestones today
#1
Bridgestone RE950 215/60/15, they are wonderful, a major improvement over the stock Toyos (ugh). The treadware is double of the the Toyos. Specs are 400AA. Factory tires were 200AA. Has very good grip on the road. I made a mistake of gettign them mounted @ Hibdon Tires because they have stoopid smelly mechanics. They slightly scratched one of my wheels and the almost forgot to balance one of them. I saw the guy put the tire and wheel on the balance machine and then he just took it off, didnt even turn on the machine or put on weights. Then i saw some dude look through my trunk. I was like WTF is he doing? He took out a wrench to tighten my lugs. That's weird shouldn't they have their own tools? They didnt even take the stickers off the tires so I had to go out and rip of them stickers. I'm never going to Hibdon tires again.

some answers maybe...
In the trunk, maybe did you see his wrench and he was trying to find your wheel lock so he could take off the rims? And, I have been to a couple tire places that don't take off the stickers also...it's normal. But, theres no excuse for them balancing incorrectly.

i just got some BF Goodrich Advantage GT's on my front wheels. compare to whatever crappy tires were on before, its a major upgrade. the only problem is that my dad bought 215/60/15s when i originally had 205/65?/15s. so now my rear tires are smaller than the front tires. big difference. anyone know if its ok to drive like this? i think i will change the rears to what i have in the fronts now, cuz it does not look right at all, front tires bigger then the rears...
