    I got brand new tires on Saturday. By Monday one tire was flat. I took it back. They said i cracked my RIM. But there are no scares on my rim or my tire. They put my perfectly fine tire on my spare rim. Has anyone heard of FUEL rims being faulty. They say I had a faulty rim. It was cracking at the seams. Hmm?

    My RIM was fine when I took my tires in.

    Have heard of stress cracks on older rims. New rim issue seems plausible.

    Nothing is perfect in this world.. Maybe the tire replacement activity added extra stress to the rim and exposed the weak areas. It is odd if it wasn’t an issue before.
    Reach out to Fuel if not already. They will probably replace it.
