Has anyone else had this problem during their 850 ownership?
For the 2nd time in about a year, I have one of my OE aluminum wheels giving
me slow leak problems with the bead of the tire. I have to keep refilling the one tire twice a week with 4-5 lbs of air. I took it to the local tire tech and he said this happens alot with aluminum wheels. He went on to say they corrode on the inside along the bead area of the rim and cause the slow leak.
My rims have never been bent or touch a curb. Does this sound normal?
