Well, my posting was not all about your specific situation...
understand in your case and similar ones, I totally understand.
I have had work done by the Costco guys and they are on par with
Schwab and the rest. There is a reason they fling tires, and it has
little to do with a high-level commitment to work ethics....they get
the job done, but I have caught them making mistakes with torque
settings on my lug nuts....typical.
In a lot of cases the tire guys with go with pressures that are way
too high or low...they are not all that careful. I am a do-it-myself
sort of fella and again, that may not be your cup of tea..I am fine
any way you like it, Bob.
So long as you're happy, then that's all that matters. You still seem
to ignore the fact that for the majority of readers here, we have to
get down on our knees and check our air and while we are at it, why
not just run out an air hose and get the job done?
But, that's all I have to say so if I still am missing your point,
then I can live with that. The wind is blowing 100 mph today, and
therefore that's enough of a distraction.
