What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[jdpber]

My wheels and tires were finally mounted yesterday. It was a PITA though. The commercial tire shop that I bought them from ended up scratching one of my wheels fairly badly. They said they couldn't mount the tires on my new wheels. I had to take the wheels and tires across town, have them mounted somewhere else then bring them back to be balanced.

They are going to replace the wheel for me and they gave me a pretty big discount on the tires so overall I'm happy. It was just a PITA.

Sounds horrible. You need better mounting shop. We can do up to a 30" wheel touch less and up to 55" tires. That are up to 20" wide. They balance Duce N a Half setups for the monster diesels they build.

I've watched the guy fling my 95# 35x12.5-20s around on the balancer like they are lawn mower tires. Dude is also like the size of Dwayne Johnson. Serious dude is monster.

Seamless effort on the touch less machine to stretch rubber bands on the big wheels with the low low pros

I'd need more than a discount on tires for scratching a rim. If they couldn't do it they should have said so before touching them IMO

Exactly. This is why I do not use the Walmart Tire Center.

They are replacing his wheel too. Seems pretty fair. [emoji106]

....and it seems my skimming skills have failed me again I somehow missed that detail on my way to seeing the tire discount detail

I know someone that relocates people for a living. I'm sure he has a team that can handle you

I'll be ready for them. Maybe I should get a pot of coffee going so that they feel more at home when they come visit.

It wasn't walmart, they specialize in tractor trailers but they do automotive as well. Either way, I'm happy with the way they ended up taking care of it. It's overcast today so the picture is kind of dim, but here's how she looks. I forgot to specify blackwalls out to the shop that mounted them, that's on me. I'll change it someday, but for now I'm going to enjoy it.

Noob mistake.
