Tires & DOT
So...been dealing with tires and tire posts for many years and have a plethora of experience with them. However I have a new challenge. Dealers seldom carry my tire in stock and they must be order...

Same here, personally prefer to install myself ,and know they are torqued correctly, and not overtightened with a air impact.
Discount's air wrenches are set for a pretty weak tighten, maybe 50-60 lb ft, but they always use a torque wrench for final tightening, and I've asked to see the installer's wrench a couple times, just to check. Now, you pull in with something that needs G tires and close to 150 lb ft of torque and you're likely out of luck. Our 30' GN flat bed has G's and, IIRC, the placard says 150 lb ft on those wheels. Going to have go buy a new wrench, or just put a 2' cheater on the wrench and lean on it. :-)
