When I checked out the damage I found all of the wheel studs sheared off. I guess they were either over torqued or the lug nuts were cross threaded. I have no idea how it happened. I checked the right side and they were messed up too.
Now the truck is sitting at the tire shop that did the install while I'm rolling in an Aveo rental car that I'm paying for. I have contacted my insurance in case the dealer decides they are going to give me a hard time. I guess we'll see soon.

Can you say "civil suit"? That tire installer would be treating me like a king or My a$$ you be going straight to the lawyer. Sounds like, with you having to rent a car own your own, that's what you should do.
Could of killed you or others.
