Need one tire or 4
DONZ PRO GENOVESE 20 X 10 HYPER SILVER [ PAINTED ] OFFSET 38
REAR TIRES ARE TOY0 PROXIES T1-S 275/30ZR20
DONZ PRO GENOVESE 20 X 8.5 HYPER SILVER [ PAINTED ]OFFSET 35
FRONT TIRES ARE TOYO PROXIES T1-S 245/35ZR20
The above rims and tires are what is on my car now. I do like the set up. The problem I am having is that the rear rim had a bend in it and would lose approx. 4 to 5 lbs in ten days. I was constantly having to air it up. This problem started after the rim got a bend in it. Was not a major bend but you could see it from the inside of the rim not on the outside I gave the tire and rim to a rim specialist. He straightened it and balanced it. I put it back on and I am still losing same amount of air. I had it pulled again and the leak seems to be on the bead area of the tire where there is an irregular bulge. It was resealed with bead cement and I have not yet gotten it back. I wanted to examine my options if it still leaks. It seems that the tire is no longer made and I would have to try and find one used or one old stock, I have called around and had no luck. I just don't want to have to buy a whole new set of tires since the total mileage on the set is 5000 miles I ran the original runflat tires for 2200 miles before I put the toyo:s on .
In the event I have to buy a new set of tires and since I am running a staggered set up with conservative offsets I don't know what would be a good tire brand to start with. I don't drive the car in snow or rain and its a non issue for me. I am open to opinions from members that could advise me My rims are in great shape so I would re-use them the tire pressure sensors all are working now , They have approx. 8 years on them and if break down the set I would probably have to buy a new set of tire pressure sensors to install with new tires.
Any advise would be appreciated and if anyone knows where I could find the one tire I need I would consider just buying the one I need new or used
