Consumer Description

NOTICED DECREASE IN TIRE PRESSURE ON ONE TIRE THEN ON ALL. EXAMINATION OF RIM SHOWED EXTENSIVE CORROSION ON ALL RIMS BOTH EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR. LEAKAGE WAS SO BAD THAT I WAS FILLING THE TIRES DAILY. WENT TO TIRE STORE WHERE I PURCHASED THE TIRES TO HAVE THEM EXAMINED. SERVICE REP SAID IT WASN'T THE TIRES IT WAS THE CORRODED RIMS THAT WERE CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I HAD THE RIMS REPLACED (ALL 4) AND HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM SINCE THIS REPAIR. IN CONVERSATION WITH THE STORE REP HE COMMENTED THAT I WASN'T THE FIRST PERSON TO COME IN WITH THIS PROBLEM AND THAT HE HAD SEEM ~10 VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM OVER THE PAST TWO MONTHS. IN FACT< AS SOON AS I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM IT SEEMED THAT HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE CAUSE WAS. I HAVE KEPT THE RIMS FOR EVALUATION IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED.. *TR
