I've been experiencing a NSF tyre slightly runnin flat for a while now. :?
Due to it not being punctured, I chucked my Chrome wheel and tyre into a water bath to check for air leaking? While submerged bubbles slowly appeared where da wheel meets da tyre..bead seat :?:
I was only goin to clean da excess rubber at da bead seat of the rim.
But after removing da tyre from da rim and the evidence was clear as! :shock:
Corrosion of the chrome wheel has created bubbling and cracking of da chrome randomly all ova da width of the wheel especially the spot where da air was leaking.
Apparently I was then told that bubbling and cracking is common with Chrome wheels. So to all pplz with Chrome rims on their Honda be careful cause they may look good, but can also cause heaps of trouble too!
This won't happen to all ppl with Chrome rims, but I was just one of the unlucky one's. :(
