Finally i took the move,

Thanks for the info that i got from this Forum and the research that i made i finally decided to switch to Michelin Non-RFT The ride is far smoother than before,


but i was surprised when they informed me that there is a crack at the rear right Rim . when they fixed the new tire air was leacking from it.

BMW dealer offered me a great service when they sent me a new rim immediatly after i called them...

but i end up paying for new tires and new rim as well.. :thumbsdown:



regards

I had the same problem with my wife's car a couple of days ago. One of the rim had a hairline crack on the inner part of the rim (rear right just like yours). I thought she needed new tires or a flat repair, but they found out it was the rim that was causing the air leak. Took it to a local rim repair shop (well known Bolton's in Gardena) and had them fixed. They said it will be a couple of days, but to my surprise they called me later on the day and told me the rim is ready. They do a good job there so hopefully that solved the problem.

Can this think be repaired.. if the original cracked, can the repaired hold the presure especially that here we have a very harsh desert weather...
