I recently purchased a set of General Grabber (235/65-18) tires at Walmart on line. Price was reduced from $140 a piece to $100, so the usual long wait for install/balance was worth it. What upset me was when I saw the tire tech brushing anti-seize lube on my clean/rust free wheel studs. I immediately asked that they stop and was told it's corporate policy. I then asked to speak to a manager and was allowed to sign a waiver and then they cleaned off the studs. I did explain that lube on the threads results in increased torque on the lugs nuts but it fell on deaf ears. To make matters worse three of the four tires weren't balanced properly. I later had them Road Force balanced at Discount tire, now they're nice and smooth.
Last time.
Rant off.
