Subject: [Shop-talk] tire balancing
Two years ago, I purchased a set of Michelin tires for my Ford
Expedition at BJs. It was not a great experience, and I don't think
I'd do it again. The tires do come with a road hazard warranty,
though, and free flat repair. I got a puncture in the right rear
yesterday, so I ventured down to BJs once again. The guy there asked
me if it was a front or rear tire. He said they balance them
differently. He said it was "statically balanced" but on a machine
that spins it and uses lasers. I don't know what he is talking
about. I told him it is a rear tire, but that shouldn't matter,
because it will be a front tire when I rotate them. He told me I
shouldn't do that. I have to bring the vehicle to them to rotate and
re-balance. None of this makes any sense to me. Have things changed
drastically or is this guy nuts? I should note that all this stuff
is free when you buy the tires there, so I don't really see any
financial motive for them to want to do this.
