Tire Places Won't Mount 420??

[jngreen]

Discount Tire here local to me wouldn't put my winter wheels on my old truck because they were load range "D" 315/75 R16 BFG all terrains. The tires were all ready mounted to the rims, I just wanted them balanced and put on the truck. They said they would balance them for me, but wouldn't put the wheels and tires on.

Originally Phil gave me some gayness about yours.... He said discount wouldn't do it. Justin told him to STFU and do it after hours. He said OK. lol

That's funty. Just goes to show its all in who you blow.

It all depends on the manager of the store....TRUST ME. i work at a discount tire store.

What is the load range on the tire? If they are D's or E's then they are bs'ing you. those load ranges would be perfectly fine to use for towing and hauling. If they are less then D's then we legally can not mount those tires/wheels.

it's not like those are big tires or anything either. i mean, there not small, but not huge.

Take the rims there and not the truck. If they ask what they are from tell them a f150 with custom axles.

Exactly, don't take the truck there. It's also good to know people who have shops.

I bought my 20x12 and 420s as a package from rimzone.com and the only thing the said was don't expect them to last long

I got the same thing from 4 wheel off road, discount tire, and a couple of other national retailers. Ended up going to some hole in the wall and getting them installed..... cheaper.

I used to work at a tire store and I have seen the amount of sue happy people increase when it comes to tire safety issues. I can understand why a lot of places are not doing all of the crazy custom stretches on full size trucks, there are too many guys out there that go load down there truck then have a blow out and sue.

Sadly signing a waiver does not do much now days since lawyers have been getting better about getting around them.

Taking the wheels themselves to the shop is the way to go

My buddy once brought his Ford ranger to Wal-Mart to get his new tires mounted. The tires coming off of the truck were 265/75/15's. He was bringing 31x10.5x15's to get mounted. They wouldn't mount them because they were a different size and could only mount the original size on. He then spent the next 20 minutes explaining how they're basically the same size through conversion. Did the math and showed them they equate to a 30.6x10.43x15... they still weren't having any of it. The best part is, he was waiting for close to 2 hours already until they called him in to tell him that.
