[s-cars] Cracked Rim.....another update.....

[David Giannandrea]

BOTH me and my friend had a tire shops crack one of our rims. We bought sets
of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S, about a year apart, different tire shops. It
seams that the tires bead isn't very forgiving and stresses the rims edge
enough during mounting to create a hairline crack...and air leak.

I warned by friend about my experience before he went to the tire shop. He
was able to get the shop to replace the rim. Since I was the first to suffer
this anomaly, I had to replace my own. I couldn't convince my tire shop that
it was their fault. And if I were the tire shop owner, I wouldn't have been
convinced either...until the 2nd time.
