I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW ABOUT AN EXPERIENCE AT DISCOUNT TIRE 580 W TELEGRAPH WASHINGTON UTAH. AND YOU CAN FORWARD THIS TO ANY REGULATING AGENCY.FROM MY KNOWLEDGE, WHEN TWO TIRES ARE PURCHASED NEW, IT IS REQUIRED TO MOUNT THEM ON THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE IF IT IS FRONT WHEEL DRIVE. AND MOVE THE LOWER TREAD TIRES TO THE BACK.WHILE AT THIS LOCATION, THE PERSON RUNNING THE SHOP STATED THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TOUCH TIRES OR ROTATE THEM IF THEY HAVE LOW TREAD.AND THEY MOUNTED THE TWO NEW ONES ON OPPOSITE CORNERS (FRONT DRIVER AND REAR PASSENGER). AND TRIED TO SELL 2 ADDITIONAL TIRES.THIS IS AGAINST THE LAW. I WANT THIS BUSINESS REVIEWED FOR THEIR LICENSE. *TR
