Heh, my local walmart wouldn't do my racing tires. Told me the
brand new tires (with stickers) were too worn to safely put on the
wheel.Never mind the thread was above the few groves and above
the wear bar. The wheels weren't even on the car! I went to another
Walmart and they did it. Another time, they wouldn't let me use
the torque wrench on the wheels due to safety issues. Huh? It
took a pipe extension to remove the nuts and that's after they
used the torque tubes. Later on while checking the tires, I realized
they sold me a lower load range tire for the truck. This was after I
specified the load range. Grrr!

OTOH, after the local Walmart said my 15" tires were the wrong size because
the rims measured 16" lip-to-lip; I'm not sure I want them balancing my
tires <G>
