    I did. I said you mean to tell me Loves sold and mounted a tire on my trailer that isnt safe? Then I told him that he needed to replace all 3 with the right tires. I tried to be as respectful as I could despite my blood boiling by the minute.

    It was the Loves on i40 just west of Knoxville. Up on the hill.

    They have a pretty good price on the Yokos and Firestone F560 tires I like to use and usually offer the kid a sandwich and soda and often I can get him to omit writing up the valve stems and disposal fee.

    I'd use Loves before Petro or T/A.

    After this experience I am going to have to rethink how I buy tires. I'm getting too old to be stressed out like this.

    You can dispute the charge with your credit card co. even if you've paid the bill already. Do that first, then deal with any Loves. I'm not sure if Loves have franchisees or not. That could be a problem with the original seller.

    problem with dealing with a local guy. he's only local. can't get local warranty when your on the other side of country.

    when it comes to warranty work. companies with locations through out the country are usually nice to have.

    Couple months ago in Missouri on hwy 67 I had a trailer tire blow out. I carry a spare on a wheel for my trailer, oddball size 245/70r/19.5, Called Loves 81 miles away. They charged me $503 dollars to come out and change my flat tire with my spare. No changing or inflating of tires. Just run the lugs off swap wheel and run the lugs on. The last few years, whenever I needed tire work on the road, I would call Loves.
    Not anymore.
