I hate Discount Tire Co.
I bought some new wheels and when I was trying to get off my first wheel I couldnt really get off the first lugnut. It was stripped to hell. So my question is Have you guys had any problems like this and do you know if Discount Tire well cover me. I will call tommorow but its late now. If they dont cover it, how much does it cost to fix it?.. any experiences? DAMN THEM!!!!!!!!!!! Oh yah.. how safe is it to drive w/ only 3 lug nuts? -Azn |

you will be safe with three nuts lol
 j/p your fine dont take hard turns of course but your car will get from point A to B fine. Id tell them they screwed up your shit and get an estimate before going on how much it will cost and show them the amount. If a conversion to a 5 lug costs a few hundred bucks I cant imagine it being more than $100 dude. If they dont give you a replacement check or cash for it then Id tell em that I'd hate to see theyre name and reputation down the tubes because they could be costed alot of money if you give them a bad name. Thats my opinion  |

Do you still have all four studs, or are you missing one? I've been driving on 3 studs in my shitter ever since I got it, and I haven't had a problem. Replacing the studs isn't hard at all, so you might even be able to do it yourself.

you know... it doesnt say on the reciept. My lugnuts are difficult to get on unless your very patient putting them on. They probaly forced the lug nut the wrong way and stripped the hell out of it while putting it on. I'll dont mind as long as I get that check in the mail.
