I had 1 tire changed at…
I had 1 tire changed at Canadian Tire due to a blowout I had during a snow storm last winter, when spring arrived I changed out the winter studded tire set to all season tires for the summer when I was reinstalling the summer tire on the wheel that was replaced during the winter by Canadian Tire 1 stud snapped off using a Proto brand manual torque wrench set at the recommended torque of 100ft/lbs ( this torque wrench is well cared for, always stored with 0 tension and at room temperature) I proceeded to finish torquring the remaining studs with the wrench set at 95ft/lbs and snapped off 2 more studs so I set the wrench to 85ft/lbs and snapped off 1 more stud now I'm stranded with only 2 unreliable studs holding the wheel on, I got into my other vehicle and went to 3 Ford dealerships and 3 parts stores managing to aquire 4 studs of different lengths, had to remove the cheap chrome covers off the wheel nuts to accommodate the longer studs. This tells me that Canadian Tire over torqued the wheel nuts when they changed the tire I purchased from them last winter. I then went to the store manager at Canadian Tire to voice my concerns but he refused any offer to help or compensate me for their shoddy workmanship. The rareness of finding the wheel studs also tells me that Canadian Tire is 100% to blame for this fiasco
