So I had my Jeep Dealership balance my wheels and tires I purchased online. They felt like crap even though they were already supposed to be balanced.
Jeep Service had to add weight and said it was definitely off initially, 1 wheel couldn't be balanced it was so far off requiring over 25OZ of weight.
So I get in and they have the tire pressure set at 75.... I asked the guy what was up with the 75psi and was told that they've seen a lot of bad things happen running pressure too low and that's what the tire called for. I told him I have never heard anything like that, are you sure it should be 75psi on a jeep? "That's what the tire calls for"
I drove off with crap handling and drifting all over the place... almost felt as if the tires were overinflated.
Soon as I got to work I sat out in the parking and let air out of the tires for 20 minutes straight... to get down to 35psi.
I guess my questions are:
A) Did I miss something, is 75psi not craziness?
B) Does this really sound like something that should be happening at the service department at a Jeep dealership?
C) I have a lot of weights on the 4 wheels they did balance... how much is too much weight? (35/13.50 R20)
Unfortunately when someone is that confidently incorrect about something... I have a hard time taking anything they say at face value. So here we are. Appreciate the responses.
