Default Off with Stock Tires, on with New

Well, that does it for my RE010. 17K miles. I could push them another 1K miles or so but they're too bald to drive well on rain. I'm putting on S03s tonight. Some of you have said that 195 -50s are a bit tight for stock rims? Would I encounter any problems if I take them to NTB for standard installation?

The reason I ask also is because NTB left a 5 inch scratch / scrape around one of my rims during a standard tire rotation. I thought maybe these guys are more used to dealing with more mainstream cars a small auto like mine (?).

if the lackey behind the machine has no clue... you will have damage to your wheels.

Thanks. That's useful. It's exactly what happened to my rims. I'll call the manager and see what they could do about it. I like the story about Acura compensating with a new set of rims
