I strongly believe that Kal Tire damaged the tire or it was already damaged beyond repair when it was brought in.

OP asked to pick up his car and they told him he couldn't drive on it so he would need new tires or a tow truck. Possibly what was assumed to be extortion was actually just a fact. The car needed new tires or a tow truck because the tire was ruined.

So has what Kal Tire been revealed? I go to the the one in Deerfoot Meadows and they are really good. So much so, they undercut another Kal on my last set of tires! Lol

When the rubber hits the road patience can wear thin, but don't tread on me, bro. It's very deflating.

Basic physics - regardless of front or rear wheel drive, if the front tires have good grip, and the rear tires lose traction when the vehicle is moving, what do you think is likely to happen?
I think its way overblown.

75% of the breaking is done by front tires so it takes 3 times the lateral load to cause an understeer event as it does to fishtail the car. If you are talking about 1 set at 50% tread depth and 1 set at full the difference in grip between the tires is not significant relative to the difference in grip due to weight transfer.

Between Winter and summer tires I 100% agree that 2 winters on the front would lead to spinning but that is a far more significant difference in grip. Stoping distances are up to 30% shorter. However on All Seasom tires new to 75% worn some testing shows only a 10% change in stopping distance.
