FYI - at the beginning of winter, a customer comes in - tire light
tells me how much we're rippping him off, scam scam scam etc etc.
He's on the way back home form vaca, lives in the mountains - snowy as F*** already. Tells me his wife (sure...) popped a tire and had it replaced, he's guessing tire shop damaged sensor or something. They checked it out, replaced the tire, got half way home - light comes on.
I check it out - whole time he's nagging me.
long story short - he had a cracked rim, had spread (i'm guessing partially due to getting wet and freezing) 2/3 of the way around the rim. F'n hub center was gonna fall out if he kept driving.
TPMS prob saved his whole fam from driving off the moutain road.
