XL even means "Extra Load"

wtf is wrong with Discount these days? Bunch-a ******

 

Yea 03 or 04 2wd with 235/75/16. I've had 3 sets of 275/40/20 installed without an issue. Just make sure when they look the vehicle up the factory tire size has a 106 and your good.

Discount used to not care but they got sued for putting an oversized tire on a rim and of course the downfall is they got strict. Really the whole tire industry got more stringent about there "recommendations".

 

 

Discount also gives me a hard time about my 12mm wheel spacers paired with longer studs (52mm offset where 40 is stock). I generally just bring them the wheels to avoid the hassle. Otherwise, they just comp the mounting when they realize they won't get my car off their rack without the spacers. That way I don't have record of them putting them on the car--only that I've been sold tires.

 

I know they changed there policy on spacers for awhile they wouldn't touch them. But there new one allows them to do it as long as the spacer is hubcentric, now region to region the rules fluctuate. Had the same issue on my wrx.

 

What's funny is I've brought probably a dozen sets of wheels and tires to discount over the years, and never had a single issue. I've always had the same process... unload them in the bay, they mount and balance the tires, call me and then I pick them back up to take home to install on what ever vehicle I own at the time. I've never let discount tire touch a vehicle of mine in the shop, unless it was a daily driver I don't care about

 

Tell them its for a chrysler 300c, people sue these tire companies all the time for DUMB **** so they always adapt drastic policies. Been there done that lol

 

I wasn't happy with the color of the gauges, so I swapped faces with my daily driver. Both clusters were rebuilt by the same company, but I guess they couldn't get oem when I did the red truck, so it was an aftermarket reproduction. Now the coloring of the dash lights all matches like it did from the factory. It was tedious, but worth it

OEM is on the right

 

4L85e, billet triple disk, TCI flexplate and other pieces ready for the swap. Next week I will be dropping it off at a local performance shop for the transmission swap, tuning and get an exhaust built. Hopefully by the middle of October I will be able to do my first WOT pull

 

you plan on taking this truck to the track?
