Please folks if you are going to have your wheels put on at the "zippy quick
tire factory outlet" be sure that before you leave you try to loosen one of
the lugnuts/bolts with your normal tire tool.  If you can't break it loose
then get them to break them all loose with the air gun and retighten by
hand.  I just spent a couple hours cutting 5 lug nuts off of my '85 Westy
with a hammer and chisel because some air gun jockey wanted to be extra sure
that they didn't come off.  These were the worst I have ever seen.  6 foot
long pipe extension and the nuts wouldn't budge only strip.  :(

Thanks,
Ken Wilford

My policy with tires is this: whoever airtooled them
on can airtool them off. If they cross-thread, the
replacement is on their dime. Many shops are cool
about this.
