Have you taken one off to check your wheel by chance? I have the same wheels that you do.

Yes. I had the factory fronts when I first had them done and then put the Michelin's on later. No issues.

Thanks!

295/35 on the front and 315/35 on the back. They are far better than OEM!

Sorry I was talking about actually taking one of the lugnuts off and inspecting the holes in the wheel, that's where discount tire is saying the lugs are enlarging the holes. Maybe the guy didn't know what he was talking about.....

When the tires were changed, all of the lug nuts came off and the holes were inspected and the showed no signs of visible wear.

I would have asked him to show me the lug nut itself. If there is no visible wear on the Gorilla lug nut then none should be on the wheels? No such problem with my set, but then again I ordered them through America's tire, and they installed them for free!

Ya it turns out that the dealership put on the wrong size lugnuts, they are too small in diameter so they were seeting into the holes.

Nice.
