| I had a slow leak in my rear tires , so i went to get them plugged. i was told that the rims had rusted through the back tires and punctured the tires. i could not get into a jeep dealership for two weeks so my mechanic ordered a new rim (jeep part) and two new tires so that i could drive safely. jeep refuses to accept responsibility based on the fact that i had my own mechanic replace the tires. i was told that i should have waited two weeks. however, i was not going to risk driving on a faulty rim and tires. i still have the rusted out rims and punctured tires that jeep refuses to acknowledge. *jb | |||
