Boy, did I just luck out or was it divine intervention?

I was gone for less than 24 hours and this thread got a bit out of hand...

That worked out great for you.

I guess we should always check, whatever we have done.

TACOtrd1106[OP] initial post: ↑

About almost a year ago, I bought some 265/70/17 BFG ko2 tires in E load at my local tire shop. Today I was washing my truck and noticed that one tire was a load C. So I go around and inspect the rest of the tires. And guess what? They were all C load.
So I stand there to think if I really bought the C load tires and paid for E load. So I go in the house to find the reciept. As I'm going through it, I dicovered that they did charge me for the E rated tires.
I then take my receipt and head to my local tire shop and explain to them the dilemma I was having. Before I went in, I thought that they would refund me the diffrence and for me, that would have been good.
(THIS IS WHERE IT GETS GOOD)
The gentleman goes out to check to see if in fact that was the case. After inspecting my tires, I see him talk to his manager and he finally comes back and tells me that they did do a mistake, and that they would swap them out for the E load tires. He then expressed how sorry they were.
So before all this happened, I was already thinking about upgrading to 285's. So I asked if they would upgrade me to the 285's and I would pay the diffrence. And sure enough they did agree to do it. Since I was there I purchased a 5th tire for a spare.
Overall, I scored on some new tires. Never thought I would get lucky like this.

When I bought my tires, the guy at the shop said they had the E-load in stock and would install them at the same price. Or I could wait for the C-load. I waited, but it was great they made the offer.

Good for them for making it right.

The OP got the better end of the deal. It seems that they gave him full refund on used tires towards the difference of new larger size tires. Now they're stuck trying to sell a set of used tires. The shop could've pro-rated his tires but didn't.

Prorating is typically by treadwear, which may not have been much in OP's case. The shop probably figured they could resell the tires without too much trouble. The other alternative would have been to revise the invoice and refund OP the difference between C and E tires.
