Walmart Super Center
Wrong smaller tire size installed, found a year and a half later

Cars & Transport

I thought I'd put my two cents worth in (not really worth much these days I know. In March I had a tire replaced on the front driver side of my car - the old one was damaged due to a collision; simple enough right? Not!

Anyway, I drove on this tire for about a year and a half - then had moved up to WV. My other tires were looking somewhat worn and had even had a minor blowout in town - so I took my Jeep to the nearest tire center to have them put on new tires (all around). Come to find out from this tire center; Walmart had put on the incorrect tire size (smaller than the other four).

And before anyone asks why this wasn't reported sooner; it's because it wasn't noticed until we had the tires changed that the gentleman told us about the tire.

I just wonder how much damage was caused to my suspension (a lot of groaning and grinding); I plan on taking my Jeep to the dealer to have more work done on it and find out just how much damage could have been avoided and what it's going to cost me to get it repaired.
