No.. Everytime I go to Firestone to get them to check on it they say that they are too busy and I have to leave my car there.. The last time they were just downright rude. I am sick of dealing with them but since the tires are all under warranty I really don't have a choice. I am probably going to try a different location further from the house and hope for better luck.
Thank god I have my little 12v air compressor.. it has been a life saver!

I hate having to deal with businesses like that. You would do better finding a another firestone that will honor the warranty. They are all over the place.

I had to drop one of my wheels off today at a shop in Va. The clearcoat was peeling, so they have to sand and repaint.....rolling on a donut!

The TL is a family car...you can fit quite a bit of stuff in the TL trunk if there's nothing in there.

Yes well with todays car seats Sara has to to sit with her seat almost all the way forward and she has a thing about air bags from a previous accident.
The stroller that she had to have wont fit in the trunk (FYI Chico Brand).
I am going to try and see if it will fit when its not raining later this week.
Yep the whole situation sucks, but at the end of the day its her car and what ever makes her happy makes my life easier...

How many wires does it take? Did you use 1/0 or 2 AWG? regular or gold terminals? Was there any felt difference?
