Default Re: Ordered K-MAC

Thought I would share my Saturday Tire Shop visit , I arrived at my appointment time , straight to the rack, car raised up and wheels removed . guy got the front tires mounted and balanced and back on the car , then moves to the rear mounts one of the rear tires on the wheel and moves it over to the balance machine . gets the last tire broken down and off the wheel , goes to mount last and . Presto it's a friggin 20 inch tire instead of a 19.. Nobody including myself noticed this and I walked around them 5 times checking out the tread design... and even helped carry them over to the machine . The owner , a great guy ( I have known for 40 yrs ) is freaking out and calls the distributor who is in Knoxville , and ask them what happened with the 19, thinking maybe it got dropped at another Store ... no luck he was only stop on the truck ,,,The guy in knox..pulled the wrong tire and nobody caught it,,,, ,, my dealer closes on saturday at 12 so they remount one of the old tires . back on the car. and I putt back home. Tire will be delivered on monday and installed tuesday..,, For some reason it did not bother me at all ,, normally I would be upset . .. but anyway from what little I drove the car on my way home .not aggressive the suspension feels absolutely awesome car stays true in the lane no pulling even when braking .. no drifting or wandering , I can't wait to take it out on the backroads and run some twisties and see how it handles ,,,, Maybe , next weekend ..... zoom zoom... come on spring...
