You are correct.

After Sam's cut me the check for two new Alcoas my business partner took his dually to the local tire shop. They ruined one of his Alcoas and bought him a new one. I'm going to but a tire machine and start handling my own tire mount and balance and rotation.

I checked the pressure in my front tires today. LF was 42 and RF was 67. Cold pressure on the tire and the door jamb decal is 80. I couldn't check the rear tires because I couldn't find my dually pressure gauge. I'll have to buy another one.
Next up, I'll check the lug torque. I'm guessing they run them on WAO with an impact.
