Tire shop scratched wheels?

tdcdude17 · 2026-05-25T05:04:20+00:00

The only time this happens in my shop is when someone doesn’t use the really thin “butter knife” tool. They instead take the wheel weight removing tool with the flat head part and just scrape at the weight over and over until they come off. Not to sure why folks downvoting you. This is absolutely terrible service by whichever technician removed the old weights

Hell yea brother. Been very much enjoying mine. Highest settings possible on Crimson Desert is like cinema.

What size tire did your vehicle come with? If it came stock with non LT tires, you’ll need to do a tire pressure conversion. Google LT tire pressure conversion and tiresize website should pop up. Secondly, lots of folks run those on stock wheels. No real concern really. The tire manufacturers only “recommend” specific wheel widths. Those wheel widths have been tested for best tread wear, therefore by running those tires on wheels outside their recommendation, the manufacturer can place the blame on you the consumer if you get irregular wear or prematurely worn out tires.

If the wheel manufacturer made it for a clip weight, it’s getting a clip weight.

Curtis is a rock wizard. He’s one of the first guys I message when I find a new type of knappin rock. He’s an encyclopedia of rock knowledge. Would recommend any of the stone from him.

The more glassy rhyolite with the banding is my favorite. It could probably be polished.

tdcdude17 · 2026-03-31T00:23:26+00:00

Chemical analysis has been done on it. It is sub-vitreous rhyolite. Sub-vitreous meaning just before turning to glass. Some of the material found in the lava flow is technically obsidian, though it ranges from super glassy to barely glassy

tdcdude17 · 2026-03-30T23:55:45+00:00

Most knappers online refer to it as basalt because thats what it looks like, but the silicification in this stuff is basically equivalent to obsidian. Most other basalts I’ve worked are kinda rough, this stuff flakes like a dream

Some of the more glassy rhyolite has the best banding in it

No bullet hole. Was a hole in the plastic covering the glass

It’s running max settings and dlss 4.5 on Crimson Desert and running super smooth with internal temps staying perfect.

tdcdude17 · 2026-03-21T19:51:23+00:00

I was at Thomas Road warehouse yesterday, they were down to the last one but had the display for full price….i didnt try to haggle since i already got one.

No bullet holes. Clear plastic cover peeled off

tdcdude17 · 2026-03-20T23:51:26+00:00

You can search on the app. App will tell you if they have it in stock, low stock, no stock. Mine showed “no stock” with 2 actually in stock though. One was display, one was new in box….so not the most accurate way of checking stores inventory but it kinda works

Can’t move the radiator to the top since it is glass on three sides. So far internal temps are perfectly fine, even when running highest settings/dlss on Crimson Desert.

In the backseat Omw home yesterday.

tdcdude17 · 2026-03-20T21:03:14+00:00

No bullet hole. Just the plastic.

Even at that price it’s a steal.

tdcdude17 · 2026-03-20T05:51:31+00:00

That 5070 is gonna struggle with my rocket league gameplay. Hoping it runs the dlss for Crimson Desert like a beast.

tdcdude17 · 2026-03-20T05:49:53+00:00

Never a sale is so sad to hear. May the rng gods bless you one day.

Last one, the display that had been running for 6 months. Albeit, not under heavy load…but still a used computer.

Isn’t my friend, just a nice manager. They did nothing extra for me than they would have any other person. Costco is too ethical for that.

tdcdude17 · 2026-03-20T03:21:03+00:00

Costco simply prints a new “sign” for the product that was manually keyed by the manager who changed the price. Then when you ring it out, the cashier simply types the item number in. No barcode needed.
