THE PLATING ON ALL FOUR OF MY WHEELS ARE PEELING MAKING THE TIRES NOT SEAL PROPERLY CAUSING AIR TO LEAK FROM THE TIRES. I HAVE HAD FOUR BLOWOUTS AND SEVERAL FLAT TIRES. I HAVE TO AIR UP THE TIRES EVERY 2 OR 3 DAYS. I HAVE TAKEN THEM TO SEVERAL PLACES TO GET THEM FIXED AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THEM OTHER THAN TRY AND PUT A SEALANT ON THE TIRE TO KEEP IT FROM HAPPENING. THIS HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM AND I STILL HAVE TO CONTINUE TO AIR THE TIRE EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS.
