Thanksgiving story (Tire related)

ultimately its his decision...if it were me i wouldnt worry about the guys job, by calling them and letting them know..that might prevent him from doing it again, maybe it was the service writers fault. they probably already know they screwed up because whoever was supposed to get the tires didnt have any on their car so they had to install another set. which is strange to me anyways. did they put the tires on ur car that were the correct size? was there another LS 400 there that needed tires..

You say you don't feel bad or dishonest, but you are going to switch them with a buddy and hide them? Now you are thinking like a criminal.
If you are right sport them babies for all to see!
The advice you have gotten that they "can't make you take them off" is laughable. When push comes to shove they will come off, and it will likely happen at the police impound lot.
Sorry to rain on your parade. I hope it all works out for you.

Actually, I called them about an hour ago. Not telling them who I am or when it happened, I told them the story. I spoke with the manager and his exact words were "We made the mistake, why are you calling about it?" So I told him "I'm an honest guy, figured I would let you know so it doesn't happen again and plus I don't want to get an unexpected visit from a detective or something." (already knowing that that wouldn't happen) Then him, "There's nothing we can do about it now, as soon as you drove on them they are yours. If we noticed before we gave you the keys, we would have taken them off. Even if you drive a mile on them we can't sell them anymore, they're not new." I said "Well I took off this morning and already have over 200 miles on them. Are you sure it's alright? That's a good chunk of change mistake." He said "Believe it or not, it happens alot, paperwork gets mixed up, usually when we're busy and there's 2 of the same make cars waiting." So I said "Thanks alot, I guess it's a nice present for my birthday tomorrow." More was said but the call ended with him saying "Happy birthday, have a nice day, and thank you."
So, I guess by law there's nothing they could have done. (which is what I figured anyway) Well I gotta get back on the road. Just figured I'd let ya know what happened.
midwest2; Oh yeah, and these tires will come off, but not at the police impound.
Thanks to everyone who is happy for me, this doesn't happen to me very often.

The Tripletred are awesome tires. I had them on my Grand Prix for about 70K and never had a problem with them, rain, snow, and especially ice. The Eagle RS-A that they put on are actually loud, I put over 400 miles on them yesterday and can't wait to get them off. They don't really feel like performance tires, but that can also be b/c my suspension isn't in the best shape
.
Like I said before, "this is the only good thing that happened to me in 2 years," other then finally getting a job this week.

I followed this thread all the way through. Story ended like I had hoped. It was not luck or B-Day present. It is fate & karma. Someone mentioned karma earlier & was right in a way except this was good karma for something you have already done probably over the past 2 years. karma can be a blessing. Enjoy yout ride

Maybe it wasn't a mistake and you owe them a "thank you"!
Glad to hear about your job. All the best with it.
