YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BELIEVE THIS SHIT! Went to the Base a few hrs ago and swung by my dealership to show my salesman the transformation of my car in 6 months. Needless to say the car was surrounded by about 20 or so of the dealership employees.
Continued up to the base to pick up a 12 pack for later this evening....after the cruising was complete!!! It makes the detailing of the paint and wheels more bearable and to test the high speed highway driving. I also promise the frau i would detail her red car
.
Anyway all was going perfect. I even took the car to discount to have the TPMS warning reset and to recalibrate the pressures.
I was on my way back home and exited on the main drag here in Wichita falls and the car starts pulling to the right. I remember Pete saying the alignment i have and the wide fronts like to seek the crowns in the road. I thought that was it. I looked for my speed and i saw the "check tire pressure, R front low" warning. So i drove about 300 meters to the next exit and pulled into Radio shack's lot. At that time i checked the tire pressure page and it showed the right front at 0 psi. This is the last wheel with the original TMPS still mounted, and the one that i had ground the shock strut to give the clearance for.
Called the wife to come get me so i could load up the jack and homemade ramps to drive onto so i could get the car up high enough for the floor jack.
Anyway, took the tire off, took it to Discount for th 4th time in 2 days. They were gonna do the relocate of the TPMS on this last wheel like they had on the previous 3 and rolled the Bridgestone up to me and said, "this tire is trashed
the sidewall had been ground down and it wasnt safe to remount.
They gave me a brand new Goodyear eagle F1 285/35 R19 as a loaner free of charge and didnt charge me for this work!!!!! I had them order me a new bridgestone 305 and it should be here tuesday.
also ordering the Forgeline brackets to make this set up the way it should have been when delivered.
When it was driveable, it was truly sickening....in a good way.
