I don't know Nam but I went to the one in Inver Grove Heights off of 52 and Concorde. Yeah, discount tire has always been good to me. My bro one time had a nail that wasn't pluggable but they let him buy a certificate right then and there to replace the tire instead of paying for a new one. So he paid only $15 instead of the $100+. Most definitely gonna get a camber kit now though-probably could have gotten another 2-3000 miles more with even wear. I ended up getting like 23K miles on those Falkens though.
thats pretty good miliage

You think that's good, my fronts are even better! The Achilles ATR sports I have up front were put on 6K miles before I got those Falkens and they still probably have half of the tread left from when I bought them. If you're doing your math, that's roughly 55-60k miles!
Yeah Trev, let me know...otherwise I'm probably gonna have to tag with Mike or Lance

Wow, what an afternoon....are you guys ready for story time?????
So I go to Discount Tire this afternoon because I noticed that my front left tire has been leaking some air this week. I'm just thinking that maybe it's just a bad seal or leaky valve stem so it shouldn't be a big deal. Figured I might as well have them balance all the wheels too since they're at it anyway and all that is free lifetime with the tires I bought. about 20 mins later they pull me to the back and show me that my rears are shot in the inside track (because of my camber) and they tell me that the front tire that was leaking actually has a puncture on the inside wall...meaning ALL 3 HAVE TO BE REPLACED
I told em to just drop em back on and I'll get it home and deal with it but they tell me they won't let me take it with the tires in that condition and that they are liable now if something happens since they took the tires off the car <-a very important point to this story!. And since my spare would only take care of one spot (presumably the front) I'd still need to do something about the rears. They have no spares there either and so I told them what the ***** am I supposed to do if I don't have the money to get tires right then and there and they said that I'd have to get it towed. So I tell them that I sure as hell wasn't going to pay for the tow since they could've have very well seen the tire problem on the car when they had it in the air without even taking them off...A point that the manager acknowledges and so what does he do? Makes a couple calls and then sends a guy out to Apple Valley Dicount Tire to get 2 tires and comes back (by now the store already is supposed to be closed) and mounts the tires on the rear and puts my spare in place of the bad front and charges me NOTHING and tells me he rather I get home safe then drive home with potentially dangerous tires-he got corporate to approve 2 free tires so he didn't lose any money either...He says he's happy and he knows I'm happy 
That's good customer service right there!

UPDATED ON MY LUTHER SITUATION!!!!!!!!
Rudy just wrote me, there's a check for the full repainting of my front on the way to MY bodyshop right now. wh00p wh00p!!!!!!! That's GREAT news! I will most likely be applying this payment towards Lindsey's front of her FX to be resprayed.
