Who knows.
Facts/sequence:
- Discount Tire broke the bead on the original (29 year old) tires and mounted new Nittos in their place. I had instructed them to be careful with where they broke the bead and AFAIK they did take care.
- For several days afterwards there was no problem and no LTPWS light.
- Then the Service LTPWS light came on and vibrations started. The code indicated the right rear.
- Discount Tire broke all the beads again to remove the sensors.
- 3 of the 4 sensors were fine, the right rear looked like this.
So could they have damaged the right rear sensor in such a way that there was a delayed action problem? Sure, I guess. But being p.o.'d with them is hardly any point because there's nothing they can do about it and I feel like I'm better off without the sensors anyway.
