[QUOTE="charliebates, post: 159216, member: 2483"] I’m really tired of tires. My Berlina came with the original 1-1/2” wide white walls. They passed the safety check twice and less than 15,000 miles Since last July I have gone through a total since 20 tires I bought 4 and a spare from a shop in Edmonton, they shipped m too their Red Deer store and installed them. In 5 days the white walls turned a grey so the took m back and refunded my costs. One of the bead breaking plates went in too far and damaged he wire wheel spoke sealant to run tubless spokes. Meanwhile the car is sitting on jack stands and waiting for the BFGoodrich Silvertown radials to be delivered. A friend had them installed for me while I was away on Holliday in Ontario. Two of them had black flaws in the white walls so the manufacturer sent replacements. But I couldn’t get these tires to balance even after using the wire wheel truing adapter I had to make along with the Hunter Gsp 9700 Roadforce balancer and pin adapter for the lug mount set up. My rims were checked for lateral and radial run out and are well within the industry standards. So after much ado I was shipped 4 American Classic wide white wall tires and one of them had a huge black flaw in the white wall and had to be replaced. That’s a total of TWENTY TIRES. I have the America Classic tires now installed and I went with the balancing beads because I have them sitting in the roll cabinet and I’m so sick and tired (or is that tired lol) of the trouble to get balanced. Hopefully they are all balanced on my incoming test ride. [/QUOTE]
