okay i got my new rims put on 2 days ago and now the damn left rear tire is leaking cause the bead on it is not sealing off. thank you sears auto center!

Yanki01

take it back?

bigwillystyle23

im going to. dont worry.

bigwillystyle23

it just ____es me off i gotta drive like 35 miles to go all the way back down there because they cant put a tire on right.

Dang dude, you live 35 miles from the nearest sears? That kinda sucks. I live like 3 miles away from sears but I never go there for service beacuse I work at a dealer. Make sure they use a lot of tire mounting lube.

Next time, try going to a wheel specialist store. (Discount Tires, America's Tire, etc.)
That's too damn far to drive to get a slow leak/flat fixed.

they put some bead sealer on it so now its all good. hopefully it wont start leakin again

bigwillystyle23

discount tire is right down the road from sears. theres small tire places around here but theyre so rinkydink i didnt want them handling my rims and such and they probably wouldnt even be open on a saturday afternoon.

why do you need bead sealer??!? I can see some tire lubricant to get the tire over the bead/lip of the wheel, but to use sealer, that tire should seal naturally without help.

mastertech86

if its leaking around the bead, then you don't think they damaged the bead upon install??? and if they put the tire sealer in ur tires, i hope you don't have the tire sensors, because that stuff will ruin the sensor........

sciontc_mich

^^ yeah that's what i was thinking, bead sealer is used if they messed up the lip/bead on the wheel.

i think its just a bad tire. it leaked once with my old rims but i got somebody to take it off and put it back on and it quit for a long time. so i guess its just that particular tire has issues. ill be gettin some new ones in a few months anyways.

bigwillystyle23

trust me its not tire sealer. its BEAD sealer. they just put it in a small part of the edge where the leak was.

F that! If they broke your bead while installing the tire, they have to replace it.
