sorrry to hear that

Neil!!!! Ooouch,, As Long As They Can Be Fix,, Thats Cool!!! Good Luck..

DID YOU HIT A POT HOLE?(WHAT FREEWAY?) IF SO YOU CAN GET CAL-TRANS TO PAY FOR IT.

 

Ya he does have the best rims. You just need to keep him off dirt roads.

 

hey 6969g35,
what's the offset on your wheels? Do they rub out at all and what tires did you go with? I have a set of SO 3's in that same size and im waiting on my wheels but people have been telling me that they are noisy tires. whatever that means. Sorry to hear about your wheel. What are you getting charged for repairs?

 

I suppose that's the risk when running on 20s. Perhaps you can get the tire shop to cover it or maybe your insurance to cover the damaged wheel?

 

I,m running falkens not noise at all
the shop will pay for that working out the detailes
I do not know the offsets
the shop fogot to put the tire sensors on the new wheels

 

So, what did you hit? the leaking valve stem is one thing, but you probably
hit something that bent the wheel. A flat tire alone do not bend wheels.

Do you not check the tire pressure often? I check it almost every week especially
this time of year when temps change frequently.

 

Is it normal to lose tire pressure around this time of the year? cause both of my rear tires seem to keep losing pressure and the rims are not bent. I figured it was due to the temp change but wasnt sure, I would fill them up between 35-40psi and it would drop down to 25-28psi with in a few weeks my rear tires are shot too but I dont think that has anything to do with it.

the tires are toyo t1-s 275/30/20

 

per 10F change up or down, you will see approx 1psi change.

So if you set your tire pressure at 35psi in 50F while the tire is cold,
you will be at 34psi if temp goes down to 40F, or 36psi if temp goes
up to 60F.

I usually use 37psi this time of year.

35psi imho is too low for 19+ wheels.

 

AGREE. If you can fix it, then do it because getting a new rim is $$$, good luck
