Yeah, they knew they messed up.
Had them pull all the wheels off and verified the others were good.

I ask the installer to not use an air wrench when reinstalling...They probably use one anyway. Since I'm in a small rural town I cant usually find the exact tire I want locally, so I end up buying tires online. If that's the case I load the old wheels and tires on my trailer along with the new ones and just deliver them to the installer to be mounted. A lot of trouble I know, but I'm anal about maintenance.
