An ase/aaa certified mechanic installed a passenger car rated tire on the vehicle, inflated to 36 psi. The plate on the vehicle is for an e rated tire (lt245/75r16e 80 psi). The tires installed were dot r88y 25br0418 (ohtsu p245/75r16). When originally challenged, the shop attempted to have me keep the tire on the vehicle. After complaining through aaa the tire shop accepted return on the tires. As I was required to wait for some time to get the original shop to accept return I went to another shop to have the p tires replaced with lt e-rate tires. At another shop (a nation chain retail center) I was offered for sale c-rate tires. Now that the ford explorer / firestone recall is now a fading memory, I am concerned that multiple tire shops offered for sale under rated tires for my vehicle.
