Hey Ben,
This happened to me too. Did you get your tires installed at a Firestone
Dealer. This was after they installed a brand new set. My girlfriend noticed
a clunking from the rear passenger side tire. I popped of the "hubcap" or
center piece and sure enough one of them lugnuts was rolling around, but all
the others were secure. Luckily, I had the right size socket and tightened
it back up, without having to go back and deal with those monkeys. I should
have known something was fishy about the place when I saw a lowered Chevy
with a sticker of Calvin pissing on DODGE. As of right now, I have a nail in
each of the front tires. I was wondering, do you have to go back to the same
Firestone dealer to get the tire plugged for free. There is another
Firestone dealer only 10 minutes away in the next city and I am wondering if
I should go there.
