Removed most of the rust, and painted my rallye wheels inside and out. Mounted two Sears Guardsman tires and had them balanced. A week later, driver's side front tire is flat. Scratch up the freshly painted rim a little trying to fix it. The tire tech found a small white sticker on the tire bead that caused the problem.
A week after repairing the driver's side tire, I find the passenger side front tire going flat. Same thing, dunk the tire in a pool of water, and find the #$%% sticker on the bead is the guilty party on the second tire also. My time, my money, my frustration due to a little white sticker that, in my opinion, has no reason being there in the first place.
