Two 11r22.5 Tires were purchased 8/8/2022 from Gabeâs tire and towing llc in town creek, alabama. These tires are for my front steer axle. The problem is the installed two trailer tires for my steer tires. Iâve gone back several times and they want me to pay over $300 additional to go to a higher end tire even though they screwed up. This is the second set of tires now that this has happened with and they make me wait over a month to find out if Iâm even going to get warranty money back since they make customer pay for a new tire then send the old one out to be inspected. Took truck to a different shop to be inspected because truck shakes violently and Gabeâs tires and towing llc would not correct the issue.
