| Don't give up, insist on getting that new tire.
I haven't dealt with Winston since leaving California (Lemon Grove) 6 years ago, but still have a couple of their tires on the front of the '57, if you can believe that. I've been dealing with Discount Tire since coming to Colorado, wish I would have while in CA. The problem I have with them is they are so good that you wait 1/2 hour in line just to let them know what you want. But, I'll take that to a run-around any day.
Another thing, I never leave the premises (either at Winston or Discount) while they're doing their thing. Something about having you in their waiting room motivates them just a little more.
