Your overall concern regarding the width of the tires is valid. You need to ALWAYS ask them AHEAD OF TIME to take it VERY SLOWLY onto the track. Point to your rear wheels and explain why. When they "ease" the X in, there is much less chance of "banging" and damage.
I've found one automatic place near me that's very good, and I always tell the guy to take it slow before he eases it onto the track. Otherwise they have a tendency to just gun it onto the track at high speed, and that's how the rim gets bashed up. |
The first place does really good job -- but really out of the way of where I live & work. They actually directs you onto their track. The second place is waterway, where you exit your car and some high school kid drives it up by himself without anyone guiding him.
I have learned my lesson. No short cut next time..
