Last time Discount Tire rotated our tires (I have each one marked), they reinstalled one tire back in the same position where they took it off. WTF ?

We should not have to double-check everyone else's work.
It would seem that there would have to be at least 2 of them not sequenced correctly… sorry it doesn’t pass the smell test to me. Can you tell us where the other three tires were swapped from and to?

I had the OEM Tremor wheels painted in black.

I liked how they look, but the fact they were the same color as my ranger, carbonized grey, annoyed me a bit. Im also a fan of black wheels. It will definitely look better for my taste.

Try again...

New tires installed. Had an unknown noise on front-left. Requested DT rotate front-left with rear-left to verify noise was not from a defective tire.

After being removed, balanced, and reinstalled... the front-left tire was in the same location.

Got it now ??

That looks much better with the new wheels and the side steps removed. ? Not sure what to do about the smoke smell, but if they’re still smoking, then try this….

thanks! ya im still not dead set on the blue wheels thou i feel a machined wheel would look better with the red but for now ill run these until i find a different wheel then sell these lol. for real those steps looks like shit! was a pain to take them off since it looked like someone broke the original mount off the rear and made a bracket to bolt it to the body mount... that bolt ill tell ya was stuck af! for the smoke part i was told using a ozone cleaner and a steam vacuum should get majority of it, ive got the vacuum but not the ozone thingy... ill have to ask some friends to see if they have one so im not spending like 50-100 bucks on something ill never use again.

buy an Ozonator on Amazon. It’ll smell like fresh rain. You’ll need to air it out after though…

This is the one I have.

it takes the smoke smell out of my garage no problem (cigar smoker).

Agree, on the ozone generator. Worked well with the last used car I bought even though the dealer masked the smoke smell. Once car sat in the sun the smell always came back until I used an ozone generator.

I Got it, your post was unclear. Getting tires rotated usually means all four to me. Now it makes sense.

Thanks for the clarification.

No problem. Store manager is very sharp and on top of things. We discussed this with no bad feelings while the tires were being swapped. Crews usually do great work and it's obvious they do care. This was a young kid (perhaps new) working under busy conditions and made a mistake.

Discount Tire will remain our preferred store.

thats rare it did anything but not damage the vehicle... ive seen those rip parts of cabs off or smash into the cab and destroy a rocker so dont run them...

also broncos sliders will be attached to the frame not the cab. if they do mount to the cab then its not a slider...
The oem broncos mount just like the rangers. I have a set i was going to make work but actually welding to chassis. Ive also had the full weight of the truck and slid off them when it was the last resort. They got bashed in but did not buckle and saved my rockers. Im not talking out my butt. Theyre strong.
