Tyre Shop Munched My Tyre

[R31Nismoid]

In wich case your opinion means nothing to me..

Another unconstructive comment.. No I don't know, but judging by the trouble they had at cracking the bead, and the fact that they used the two different exuses, one being the tyre size as a fault. Wich brings us to your next point. You will find you are contridicting yourself somewhat, in that this tyre place is what you would call unreputable.

dont post a thread if you dont want peoples opinions then.

Tyre is too small for that rim. Its your own problem.

yeah that sounds about right. but 10 inch is still bigger than 9.5 inch. I'm running 235 on a 9 inch and even they look too small for the rim.

Same as me, 235/9" and i reckon its really pushing it.

Another 1" i wouldnt even contemplate

Well seeing as you are so keen to hear opinions it is my opinion that you are wrong...

I have done grip track days and even destroyed a wheel on a gutter with 215/45 semi slicks on 9" wheels and never had any problems with leaks. In fact the only problem you get from stretched tyres is stupid old guys coming up and telling my I should be jamming 275s on a wheel that wide...

The absolute fact of the matter is that the tyre being too small for the rim has NOTHING to do with damaging the bead or making it harder to get off! So basically the tyre shop just looked for the first excuse they could find and that was it.
