Well when I took it there they snapped one, didnt even tell me before I left the shop that one was snapped, drove to Barts and he spotted it. So I got it replaced (thats the one that is still holding on) then the other 3 decided to let go (musta been fractured). Didnt have the problem before I went to Tonys... And I found that my Z where I had tyres put on by them also had loose valves (found out a few weeks ago when I got new tyres for it) so they leaked air! Moral of the story dont go to Tonys, ever.

Re: WTF!!!!! / FAIL THREAD
This is a Double Fail. Today outside the Champion flour mills on Moorhouse Ave, a truck and trailer drove out, but the Truckee hadn't connected the trailer up to the fifth wheel properly, and it promptly departed company with the cab blocking 2 lanes of traffic and leaving a huge gouge in the road. The Double fail is I took a picture of it on my mobile and it didn't work
