“This has to create a real problem for rims and CV joints when that type of contact happens. So hitting road debris may be an adventure.”

A friend who has a new Euro luxury car was on vacation and her husband was driving and hit a brick in the road with new tires.

The tires came out okay but the a very expensive rim didn’t fare very well. The couple spent an unplanned week in a remote area waiting for a new rim.

“The couple spent an unplanned week in a remote area waiting for a new rim.”

How many times has that been a movie plot?

“”” Uptis is an assembled airless wheel structure technology made accessible to passenger vehicles, which offers many advantages. “””

That makes it sound like it’s a wheel and tire in one assembly. Weird and sounds expensive as hell.

I need some tires.
What lug pattern?
What?

That sounds like the beginning summary of a horror movie.
