Ricey Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Didn't manage to get a piccie but the tyre on my Lancer has been going down over about a 2 week period of late. Assumed it was a slow puncture and thought while I was having it tracked I'd get it fixed. The tyre dude called my over and said there was no puncture but the wheel had developed a fungus which causes the tyre to lose the seal on the wheel......he showed me the wheel and the whole of the rear rim was covered in brown discoloration! Apparently its quite common on Mercs.......the tyre can pull off the rim a little allowing moisture to seep into the wheel and fungus then grows.

Ricey Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 I think its the result of Mitsi putting low profile tyres on a car without sports suspension.......the tyres probably take a lot of stick when it gets slung about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
