Default Have 01 with polished

wheels. Absolutely no sign of cracking or air loss. One can only hope. Sounds like periodic inspection is definitely warranted for those who have them.
I too just got rid of run flats and put Michelin Pilot Sport A/S on it and the ride and noise levels improved 100%. The tire store carefully checked the wheels and said all are good. They are sweet tires for average drivung.

I check mine for cracks every time I clean them off, which is about 2-3 times a week. I also re-torque them 2-3 times a year too.
