I am not sure who to go to. I had new tires put on my car in May of 2007 and ever since then they keep losing the air and going flat. I have taken the car back several times as I have a roadside warranty on the tires and they are now telling me the beads on the wheels are bad and that is why I am losing the air in my tires. In order to be able to remedy the problem I need new wheels because according to them it is well known that this a problem with the wheels on this particular car. Has anyone out there had the same problem and if so, is there someone I can contact or do I just have to shell out the cash to fix something. I did not have problems with the beads on the wheels with the old tires, they were just worn out and had nails and such in them. I did have the right front tire fixed on a recall for the hub, but they only fixed the front passenger. I do like the car, but the tire issue is really starting to push me over the edge. It is 1 degree here and I walked out to a flat tire this morning. I have had to invest in a portable tire inflator in order to be able to trust driving the car anywhere. You know air is not free anymore, it is at least 75 cents to air a tire up at the gas stations (AIR NOW COSTS MONEY). If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate the input.
