Never understood this, but some folks must think it is better to drive on the vertical sides of the wheels rather that the horizontal portion of the tires where the rubber meets the road.
Such was the case with the rims and tires of this E93, as shown below:
Since one tire was damaged (not repairable and unsafe), and the tires were an off brand, time for some new shoes and fix the rims.
The local Discount Tire removed the tires and I carried the rims to a local wheel repair facility.
The repair shop did an amazing job of repairing the wheels and then powder coating them.
New Michelins were installed. The guys at Discount Tire did a great job
Here is one of the wheels being installed.
Note the use of the 12mm x 1.5mm wheel hanger tools.
Obligatory photograph with the new shiny shoes.
With the new tires, the E93 is finally safe to go out of the neighborhood.
