gridlockjoeI noticed something looked weird about my car today. I checked the new tire and just for grins compared the sizes of the new tire and the existing tire.
Guess what? They were different. My car takes 185/60/15 and the new tire was 185/65/15. That can screw up an alignment big time.
So it was off to my nearest Sam's Club to get the proper sized tire. They didn't have any, and sent me to Wal-Mart to see if they had any. Fortunately, they did, and got it changed out fairly quickly. The store wasn't even crowded.
Back to Sam's, where I was given a refund for Wednesday's tire, since they had made the mistake in the first place.
Tomorrow it's back to Houston.
