I just had my tires switched over to some new wheels today. On the ride home the car was pulling to the right I was thinking the tire guys may have not inflated them equally. Then I get almost home and well the front doesn't feel right. I pull over and DAMN my tire is flat. WTF could it have been. I reinflate it. Hear no leaks. Go for a ride and when I get back FAAAAARRRk. Flat again. I inflate it again and take it to my shop. Jack the car and and HOLY CRAP three tire bubbles on the inside sidewall. Gonna haul the tire/wheel back the tire store tomorrow. I wonder what I should say/do/demand or ask.

Because you were remounting used tires, they probably won't do anything for you.

sometimes when you remove a tire off the rim the bead gets torn if you dont lubricate it. that may have caused a leak, the bubbles could be from driving it flat.

ask them if you can inspect the tire off the rim and look for damage to the bead.

Damaged bead was the problem. Good call Jon. Also the owners gonna get me a new tire at wholesale cost and gave me a temp tire till it comes in.

sounds like good service. most places probably wouldn't have done anything since they were used tires like ^^^ said.

what'd you get? some new bling for the cobra?
