But that time between air ups it would slowly get low and start pulling, so I had to correct it, and that wore the tire down.

Should have just said F the wheels awhile back and I wouldnt have had to worry about it at all.

Now that I'm back on the stockers, I kind of like them again.

Lol more than likley if you took it to sears or similar they could of whacked the inside of the rim with a wire wheel taking off most of the inside corrosion and then put a good layer of bear sealer and it would of been fine 20$ vs 200$.

Is tire was shot not only to wearing on the outside shoulder but the tread was really low. When in installed the wheels for him a couple years ago I cleaned them up really good. With chrome peel there is no good fix to it unless you have it all removed and that would take hours

I had the wheel taken somewhere else and brushed up real good, stopped the leak for a few weeks but then it started leaking again.
