I drove by recently and the tire store was gone. Be aware of who your wheel/tire dealer is using. Some of these guys just hire low wage monkeys and hope for the best. Check the torque yourself if you have doubts.
Sounds like that little plan of action... to save an almighty dollar... came back to bite them right square in the ares! I sure hope that tire shop "owner" didn't expect anything different.
