Has anyone had any trouble with dealer installed Perelli 17" RF's? I just had to replace my right front after 13000 miles with a crack just above the bead below the rim wall. The dealership I went to in Mountain View, Ca. took 3 days to replace it (after ruining the bead on a brand new replacement and finally taking it to an outside shop). They are telling me that I hit something (yet I don't remember hitting anything with recently nor is there damage to the rim). I am wondering if the dealership couldn't do it right maybe the Manufacturer also screwed up the bead.

While the Euforia's are not easy to install, they are not exceptionally difficult either. Personally, I wouldn't let the dealership touch my wheels/tires, because they don't have the right equipment for it; that's what tire stores are for!

The possibility of the factory screwing up a mounting is possible, but not likely. Besides, if you got 13k out of your Euforia's, consider yourself "on par" with others.

Cheers,
Ryan
