weakening sidewalls by taking off and putting back a lot?
if you take tire off and put it back on a wheel a lot,
does that eventually weaken the sidewalls enough to cause a blowout? what if the tire is exceptionally hard to take off and put on? wle. |

om... if you take tire off and put it back on a wheel a lot, does that eventually weaken the sidewalls enough to cause a blowout? what if the tire is exceptionally hard to take off and put on? You have to be careful with tire irons, if you slide them with a lot of pressure you can abrade the fabric where it covers the bead. |
