Default Sooo, I Just Picked Up My Car From The Impound...

Paid $800 for the Week... Took it out at 11:45pm, drove it around, did some Donuts in the parking Lot, since it was wet... Got home to check everything.... and to my Suprise, There is a New $500+ Toyo T1R On my Driver Side Rear Wheel... WTF!!

PS: My Rear tires were done...

Are you saying that they replaced a wheel for you?

Did they damage it during the tow?

BTW how far did your rear tires last?

Maybe someone at the impound took the car for a drive(s) and blew out a tire.

That's what I think. Also, if something like that happened, there may be a case for getting you money back or even better helping you get off. I don't know why or how but it may be worth investigating. Do any of your documents have the mileage when towed vs. when picked up Zook?

lol Justin it gets even better... Soo i went to the meet this morning, was showing everyone the New Rear Tire... Gerg (jumper) noticed the Front seems new too, so i checked it and guess what? its NEW TOO!!... Front $305 and Rear $445... 2 new Tires on my car WTF!! Now i had to find out

So after the Meet/Jack Astors i went to the Impound/Garage/Rental/Tow Truck Place, spoke to the owner... Appreantly he knows me and knew whos car it was when he saw it in the morning last saturday... We have common friends... I never met this guy, Cool guy tho

So this is what happend, he said "Someone broke in and damaged the property, slashed tires and damaged cars... my Driver Side Front and Rears were Slashed..." So he had to pay for all the damages out of his pocket (4000+)... He said my car was his first priorty, since we have common friends...

These tires cost $750 (1 Front 1 Rear at 1010tires) I paid $800 for the Impound/Tow...

What a story

If you didn't know the guy I would demand 2 more new ones. tire manufacturers always recommend replaciing tires in pairs...for awd all 4 must be replaced. glad to hear you got it back. keep us posted on the courts.
