At 15k miles I had the front two tyres changed, at the time the fitter remarked that one of my wheels was buckled, i.e. it had a flat spot on the inner edge not seen when the wheel if fitted to the car.
anyway, at 18,000 now and I thought I had a puncture, took it to the tyre fitter who removed the wheel and found the inner rim had now got a crack in it and air was spilling out at quite a rate of knots.
Doubtfull I'll claim warranty as yesterday with a flat tyre (unknown to me) I kerbed the wheel and the mark on the rim is exactly opposite the inner crack, so no ones gonna bleeive they are separate incidents.
so... anyone want to contribute towards a new wheel for me? with no spare[1], i'm off the road.
