John/Horace Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 Tire shop can use a wire wheel and remove the corrosion back to bare material. A heavy coat of good bead sealer will fix leak for quite a while. Tire shops do this all the time. If the rim has impact damage that is leaking; you will need another rim. Steel sometimes fixable but not aluminum. William Burke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Burke Posted January 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 I got 2 repaired with the bead sealer, we'll see how that goes! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Burke Posted January 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 The two repaired bead rims so far are holding up very well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John/Horace Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 If the tires are in decent shape bead sealer should last a few years. Here in the salt belt the rims get pitted from corrosion, mainly with aluminum rims. Fixing with bead sealer usually holds a few years until tires are worn out anyway. Soapy water spray on the tire usually helps figure out where leak is. Newer tires seem to wear out faster anyway; if they aren’t cracked to hell or tread gone at 5-6 years you are lucky. DOT code on sidewall will tell you week and year of manufacture; important tire info. William Burke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Burke Posted January 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) Tires are in very decent shape John/Horace. I will check DOT code thanks! P.S. We live in Oregon, but the car came from Alberta. Edited January 25, 2021 by William Burke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
