Going to Discount Tire today to get the new tires installed.
Getting tires at Discount Tire has not worked out to well. Discount did not have the equipment to change the tires on a motorhome. They only had a 3/4 inch air gun which is not big enough to even get the lug nuts off the coach. After trying for a hour they decided they could not get the tires off and at this point I’m not sure they could even mount the tires on the rims.
The store manager called several places and final found a TravelCenter America Truck Stop 16 miles up he road who said they could mount the new tires. The Discount Tire manager wanted me to put the six new tires inside our coach and go the the TA Truck Stop. I said we didn’t have room, I didn’t want new tire rubber all over the inside our coach on the furniture and carpet. One minute before I asked for a complete refund he decided one of his people would take the tires the TA Truck Stop.
When we got to the truck stop the person who said they would mount the tires was gone for the day. I lady at the counter said she would call me when they were ready to do the tires. I went out to the coach, unhooked the pickup and we waited. At 5:00 (45 minutes later) I went back into the shop office to find out if we should eat dinner or were they going to call right after we started to eat. And amazingly all of a sudden she had someone available to mount the tires.
It took the guy 3 hours to mount the tires. They didn’t have the correct equipment to get the tires off the rims so he had to do it by hand. We were the only vehicle in the shop and the other tire guy working was not about to help. He work pretty hard to get to old tires off the rims.
We left the park at 1:30 and got back to 9:15, long day for just tires.
Anyway, we have new tires.
