| Description of the problem | The tires won't hold a seal and have continually small air leaks. I have to keep filling my tires with air every week or so. I have taken it to 3 different tire places and all say the same thing thing, the tires are good, wheels are not bent, and that it is a known issue with my car that the chrome erodes off and it will not hold a seal. Every single place has said the same thing and i continue to have the same experience. They will clean off the rim and reseal it and say as long as the chrome wheels keep eroding it will continue and it is so true! |
