An early winters tale

Postby asgard » Wed Aug 03, 2011 1:52 pm

Be very aware of the combination of tire ans wheel width.

I had a set of 265/70/17 mounted by a tire dealers on 6.5 steel rims 0 their package - this seems to be the rim specified by the largest steel winter wheel supplier in Canada. However Michelin states that that tire must be mounted on a 7-9 inch rim. they said the tire could break the bead and be a catastrophic failure.
It has taken my 7 months to have the dealer admit his mistake and take back the entire package.

If you are buying multi- fit 17 inch wheels be aware of tire width and also the log nut centers are 115 not 114.3. It makes a difference - believe me .That combination is almost undrivable. I only had them on 100Kms.
