[QUOTE="etown, post: 145832"] My mechanic told me the reason my handling is "off" in my car (it's all over the road at 65+mph) is b/c both rear rims are severely bent. This started the very day after I had 2 rear tires replaced. Is it possible that when the tires were mounted, they bent the alloy rims? My mechanic told me the reason my handling is "off" in my car (it's all over the road at 65+mph) is b/c both rear rims are severely bent. This started the very day after I had 2 rear tires replaced. Is it possible that when the tires were mounted, they bent the alloy rims? **If they were already bent when I took them, shouldn't the tire place have told me? I bought the tires at a well-respected local shop & had the alignment checked** also, the tires were not balanced when they were put on - just mounted They didn't ask me at the tire place if I wanted the tires balanced....I just spent $190/tire, so I would have gladly spent another $50 for balancing if that was the right thing to do.
