Not sure where OP is, but where I'm from, Discount/America's Tire is a great company. I have been a very satisfied customer for over 25 years. How has your experience been with the company?
It doesn't matter *where* ANY tire store is - *OR* how successful your results have been in the past!..:S..:S
Tire store employees -the guys doing the labor- are most often *NOT* making a career out of it - and may have been tossing burgers and fries at Mickey D's the previous week..:S..:S
Trailers are way, way down on the list of "normal" vehicles they mount tires/wheels on.
You can have the same (negative) results from a mom & pop operation that has been in business for 25+ years.
Mom & pop don't mount the tires.
As posters noted:
1. Take your tires and wheels to them - two at a time.
-or-
2. If not - Watch the "operation" VERY closely - don't be afraid to call a halt to something you don't like.
and -
3. Make sure (if it's #2) the guy mounting wheels uses a torque wrench for final lug tightening.
(#3 also applies to ALL your vehicles - at any tire shop).
Lastly - for trailer owners...*YOU* decide whether you want your RV jacked under the axle or under the frame.
Tire shop folks will always take the quickest & easiest method.
OP: Hope it's an easy fix - jack cut the wires.
