Can't trust anyone to mount the tires correctly.
I just got my car back from a shop two weeks ago and today I noticed that my large tires are both mounted on the left side of the vehicle.
I am about to "correct" this mis-mount, but I cannot imagine when/how this happened unless it was the last trip to the shop. When I purchased the tires a year ago, I remember having to tell the installer to correct them because he too had mounted them to the wrong axels.
I can only hope that this mismounting has not been for more and the last two weeks, but I cannot account for how screwed up everything is...
The thing that really bothers me is that looking at the tires today, I could see that two of the wheels have "13" molded into them and two have "15" - of course the 285s are mounted one on a "13" and one on a "15". I am guessing that the 15 indicates the 10 in wide wheels wile the 13 is the 9 - I will measure them when I move the tires.
It seems that not even BMW will get it right - two years ago I stopped in Las Vegas BMW and had some wrok done, after that trip I also had to have the tires corrected after BMW mounted them on the wrong axels.
