Re: [DML] Local tire shop

["Mr. Woop Ass" <sephiroth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mark,
 List,
                I work at a tire shop. A lot of tire shops usually don't ask
or care what kind of car you have but there are some shops out there that
follow the rules and ask what kind of car it is for. Basically the rules
state that you aren't supposed to install the incorrect tire size on a car
because it is a liability issue and could potentially harm the customer and
/ or the car itself unless otherwise stated in a book (fitment guide) that
the tire size is an optional size that has been proven to properly fit the
car and not affect its operation... However, I don't see a reason why this
person was so persistent on knowing what kind of car it was for.  The person
may have just wanted to be a pain.

Have a great day!

Rex
