On the tire issue, tire dealers can be held liable if they knowingly install a tire on a car that is below the minimum speed rating that the manufacturer specifies for that particular model. I know it's asking a lot of a person who's JOB it is to sell tires to actually understand speed ratings but hey, I guess I'm a hard ass.

Just so you know, the correct term is "performance rating". 
And you wouldn't believe the number of people who come into a tire shop and drive cars they've dropped $80,000+ on, and they want Toyota Corolla price range tires. No Lie. 
And when the good tire places won't sell them Chewy Louies, they get a case of the @$$ and go to BJ's or Walmart and get them there instead, where they really DON'T know what they're doing.
