A well-meaning but too-talkative neighbor of mine
recently caught me out washing my car and began to talk...I try to humor
him/tune him out, yet one thing he said stuck with me..he had a rim that
developed a rusthole or some sort of pinhole in one of the welds that holds
the rim together...this was the reason his tire kept going flat...next time
have your tireshop somehow check the rim to see if this is happening to
you
