: the contact stated while parallel parking at 1 mph, the rear passenger wheel rubbed the curb, and the aluminum casting on the rim flaked off, which damaged the tire. The service dealer was contacted, and determined that a smaller rim could not be used to replace the wheel. The contact expressed concern that curbs were 6-7 inches high, and scraping a curb could damage the rim and tire, posing a safety risk on the road. The tire and rim size were: P205/60R16.

: the contact stated while driving the tires suddenly became flat on the passenger side. There were no potholes or foreign objects that may have punctured the tires.

The tires were observed prior to the incident and there were no signs of failure or budging. The contact expressed being nervous because of the two tires going flat at the same time with no apparent warning. The dealer stated both rims were bent. Updated 08/22/06.
