[Chrysler300] Danger of wheel failure unless the rims are replaced by str...

["Jim Pristelski" <ajp002@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have been following the discussions about old wheels v. new wheels and
radial tires v. bias tires, etc.   I had a 1968 Plymouth station wagon that
always had bias tires on it.  I am assuming that 1968 had the better wheels,
but correct me if I am wrong.  While we were on a vacation with three kids,
a German Shepherd, camping equipment, etc,, but not towing a trailer, one of
the rear wheels separated just inside of the tire bead.   The car had about
80K miles on it at the time.  So, I went to the nearest boneyard and got a
used wheel.  I never thought much more about it until the current
discussion.   That is the only wheel failure that I ever had and it was with
bias tires, not radial.

Best regards,

Jim in Illinois
