WOW!  Way to go.  It's not so often we hear of such a good result to a
problem with tires.

Hi Bill,
They were not Firestones or Bridgestones.  They were BFGoodrich and
were replace with Firestones.  But I also keep enough air pressure in
them to not have problems :)

Take care and Happy Campin...

Last update hopefully.
<begin rant>
I dropped the MH off. When I dropped it off I asked the counter guy if
they knew how to get the wheel covers off and if they needed the tool
that came with the MH. He said they knew how and that they had the
tool.

So, my wife and I went shopping.  While returning I noticed it was
parked in a different spot. Hooray.....It's done!

My wife dropped me off and headed home. I went over to look at it
before I entered the business. I noticed that the right side dual had
both valve cores coming out the same hole. I am under the impression
that they should be 180 degrees apart. No big deal. I'll just have them
turn the outer rim 180.

After approaching the counter, the "counter man" advised me that the
"tire guy" lost one of the inside dual extenders and one of the lugs
that hold the wheel cover on. I am thinking "oh sh.t, how does a person
loose more than one item in a shop such as this. It is a "TIRE" shop.
They sell tires and wheels. They don't do anything else. But again I
thought it is no big deal because I am sure they have the parts they
lost. I was wrong. The "counter guy" said it may take a few days and to
bring it back. I advised him that I live 25 miles away and get 9-10
miles per gallon and he can do the math to see how much it will cost me
to bring it back. He seemed surprised so I gave him a quick math
lesson. I told him it is 50 miles round trip and I'll use 5 gallons of
gas. "IF" I can find gas for only $2.50 a gallon (which I can't because
gas is $2.89) it will cost me at least $12.50. Now he was more
surprised. I also told him that there was a RV center 2 blocks away and
they would have the extenders and wheel cover lugs. The light finally
turned on over his head and he called them to see if they had the
parts. They said they did so he sent the "parts runner guy" to get
them. In the mean time he found the wheel cover lug. Cool!

After about and hour the "parts runner guy" returned and the "tire guy"
began work. I asked the "counter guy" I was going to watch, he said it
would be ok.

Tire Guy get it jacked up and gets out his impact wrench and starts to
remove the wheel cover. After he takes off the first wheel cover lug I
notice the chrome/stainless cover of the lug is cracked. I told him he
cracked the cover and he denied it, he said it was already cracked and
that they had to use the impact wrench to get it off. I told him that
was bullshit because I had taken the covers off about 2 weeks earlier
it clean them and they couldn't be on that tight using the proper tool
that came with the MH. I went to the compartment where I keep the tool
and got it out for him. After he used it, he agreed that using the
proper tool wouldn't have cracked the outer casing. OK, no big deal.
I'll replace them later. I did advise the counter guy that I may bring
him a bill if they are expensive. He agreed.

Finally, I am out of there. After parking it in the driveway I also
noticed that the front wheel cover was crooked. I got out the tool and
removed the cover to install it correctly. I noticed they had bent the
cover while installing them with the impact wrench ( I presume). I was
able to pound it out easily with a mallet. There is still a VERY small
dent tho. Also, they didn't install either of the front extenders.
Damn!

 This was the worse cluster f**k I have seen in many years. They
obviously hire inexperienced help (kids) and don't train them. I don't
blame the kids, they just do what they are told. I blame the management
for not training/supervising them. I also learned that just because it
is a "Tire Store", it doesn't mean they know everything.

To answer Dave: No, they weren't white letter tires.
