I've been focusing on the load index but they also low balled me on the aspect ratio, which seems to be a bigger deal. I talked to my mechanic about it today (found this place 6 or so months after I bought the tires). Once he saw how different the tires were from the door label, he said I absolutely shouldn't have to pay a dime. The aspect ratio can apparently mess with the gas mileage, so he was giving me little lines like "hey, didn't VW have some kind of gas mileage issue" to throw out there randomly. He essentially told me that they screwed this one up royally. I did talk sit down for a face to face with the service manager today and he refused to budge even after the threat of taking it higher up the ladder. He said there was no safety issue whatsoever, even though tire centers beg to differ. So the second I walked out, I got on the phone and filed the complaint with Hyundai. Obviously that's going to take a couple days, but we'll see where this goes.

If you played any of the Batman Arkham games on the PS3, you kind of have to finish the series. They made some odd choices in Arkham Knight, but as a whole, it's a fun game. I'm fairly new to the PS4 world too and so far I've only played that and just started Metal Gear Solid V.

Yeah, if I can ever get this manager to actually talk to me I'm going to spell it out very simply for him. Either you so right by me or I'm taking this higher. I need to research a bit what higher would be, but that's my plan. Having me in unsafe tires for a year and then expecting me to pay anything to replace them is ridiculous. I know the tires are useless to them now, but that's not my problem.

So their initial offer is 50% off, which is exactly what the dealer in my neighborhood told me to expect. They also want me to pay to have them put on and the balancing and all of that, which seems like a bit of a slap in the face. Time to decide how far I want to take this.

Don't show this to my wife as I'm trying to sort out a tire issue.

This reminds me of what was probably the lowest moment I saw from their fans while I lived out there. The year that Auerbach died, Sabres-Bruins was the very first event in the arena after he died. They did a moment of silence for him before the game. Seconds into it, some idiot yells out Buffalo sucks, which was followed up by some other random chatter. So they couldn't even come close to making it through a moment of silence for one of their town's sport icons.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. I'm willing to give this guy the chance to respond first, but I have no problem going higher up the ladder if he blows me off. The clock is ticking though because I feel like I should have heard back by now.

Yeah, I found that on my door. What I don't see is the load index, which on your tire picture is the 86 in the "86W". Maybe it's on the sticker, specifically with the maximum weight allowed, but I don't know the exact conversion for that. And actually, now that I look at my sticker again, they actually came in below one other number, the aspect ratio. On your linked sticker, that's the 40 in the "205/40". I don't know if they are required to match that number though, as Costco yesterday specifically mentioned the load index.

Forgive me if it's already been mentioned here because I didn't read every post. I think it's kind of interesting that the rumors were of the Hayes family telling him not to play in Boston and now he winds up on the same team as Kevin Hayes. It seems like we should have been aware of this option much earlier.

A guy in my neighborhood essentially runs a dealership. I don't know him well, but I asked him about it and he pretty much suggested what you're saying. He didn't flat out say it, but he hinted at the negative reviews really stinging the place. We'll see how it goes. I was just there about an hour ago, but the service manager wasn't in so I'm playing the waiting game now to hear from him. The guy I did talk to was, forgive the pun, really spinning his tires trying to come up with an explanation. He's the one who actually sold them to me a year ago, so it's his head on the line here. There's really nothing for them to hide behind here. I have the tire paper work direct from them which lists the tire specs and I watched as he pulled up the required specs on his computer. I'd love it if it came down to your scenario. I'd take that and run.

I get the impression they will be thinning the herd pretty quickly. I was kind of hoping Nick was going to die last night, but it seems like they want to run with this new community a bit. Some of the others are not long for this world.

They get distracted by something while eating and then leave. That's all I've got.

How dumb were those two guys killed by Nick's herd? Let's stand on the ground and be overtaken instead of just hopping back in the jeep and fleeing. Also, let's fire with this revolver instead of the rifles in the car. They always have to throw in me mentally of pure stupidity into these shows in order to get a cool visual.

I looked up the required specs and the specs of the tires on the car. They are too low. If I can google the required tire specs (I'm told they're also displayed on the car somewhere), there's no way they should be able to screw that up. They are the same brand that has been on the car since the day I bought it, kumho. As for the patch/plug, failing is my own word here. It has a slow leak. As it turns out, the place that did it (a local mechanic shop) did it in that no go zone on the tire. I'd imagine that the crazy heat we've had down here doesn't help. That's not really important here though as the real issue came before them. I was at Costco for the tires yesterday and everything they said matches up. I've got the original paper work on the tires and they are definitely below the specs.

I have no love for the fans in that area, but you could not be any more wrong with that statement. Keep in mind that Minnesota is the only state that has produced more NHL players.

I still hate Nick

That's actually where I went today. I'll be buying from them if I can't get the dealership to replace them. But I have no idea how a Hyundai dealership can put improper tires on a Hyundai car. I think they're going to have to take care of me. I e got all the paperwork from the sale to prove that they did in fact put these tires on my car.

Last year I had my tires replaced at the local Hyundai dealership (yes, I know doing this at the dealership is dumb). I wound up with a nail in the tire in January and got it patched. Fast forward to this week and the patch is failing. So I took it into a tire place today for a replacement, only to find out that the dealer put four tire on my car that were below the required specs. The load index on these tires is too low so the tire place would not sell me one or two replacements, which I fully understand. So I need to head into that Hyundai dealership tomorrow and put up a fight to have them all replaced. Do I stand a chance here with this? From what Ive been reading, their screwup actually opens them up to liability issues. They never told me a thing about any of this, not that even that would excuse them.

It goes beyond that though. Not only did he play locally, but he was also a local kid. There's absolutely no way a serious hockey fan in Boston wouldn't know who he is.

That's got clueless bandwagon guy written all over it.

I'd be tempted to blame his mom for making the whole thing public. Then again, I'm not really sure why a 32 year old needs to come up with a fake story for his mom about how he spent his night.

I can't imagine anyone other than delusional fans expecting him to put up those numbers. Front offices can't be expecting that. In what was one of the stronger crops in recent mind, last year's rookie class only had 3 guys top the 50 point mark (granted that doesn't include injured McDavid). At some point people are going to realize that point production has decreased significantly across the board. He is not, and never has been a center.

And is this the kind of thing that it takes sources to report now? It's almost the equivalent of saying "player X will either make it in the NHL or he won't". Thanks there captain obvious. If I ever need to know whether or not tomorrow will come, I'll need to hear from those sources.

I hope the report has far more substance because even if it was credit cards, it seems plausible that someone would leave one or two in their room before heading out or to be given a card by someone else after being robbed. This info would probably be easy enough to track down if they want to back up the report. Maybe it has been done, I just don't know what the source is.

I have no clue what the hell is going on, but what exactly is the point of the report in bold? Is it that crazy to think that he got a new wallet?
