In this case the damage would not be limited to the outside of the wheels. You should also be able to see it on the inside wall as well. What I'd recommend is to inspect the inside of the wheels (maximum turns to the right and left) to see if there is any damage. If you find damage, you kind of know what happened, and Mike would be right. I'd take it to the dealer and have them inspect further damage to the front axle including suspension, steering column, rods, etc.

Didn't think of that, great idea
1.) if inside of wheel is damanged at roughly same place as outside, It's not the tire places fault and could be more damage to suspension and other stuff.
2.) if no damage to the inside of either tire then its most likely or could be tire places fault.
question, who did the ppi? was it the place you bought it from or did they recommend them? Someone could have traded it in damaged and dealer is covering their arses. Ya never know. I was a new car sales manager and have seen it all. It wouldn't suprise me unless this dealer has an inpecable reputation.
Might have trouble proving it. but ya gotta try!!
