Another great GM idea. Let’s go to the expense of an alloy wheel but add a whole extra process and part to bond a fake plastic skin to it that scratches easily and can crack. And why not to buy no name tires including the junk Les Schwab sells. A friend totaled his truck when a nearly new Les Schwab tire self destructed on the freeway and sent him into the guardrail.

How about their POS lame and failure prone front wheel drive vehicles. Their no-nothing engineers and designers have probably brainwashed themselves into thinking that their POS front wheel drive crossovers are "Just As Good" or superior to the likes of Toyota Land Cruisers and Nissan Patrols. Wonder how they would do if subjected to the Australian outback bush track test, wonder how soon and how fast they will break.

Wes i have a suggestion to you and to everyone else that read my comment, Im no expert when i comes to changing tires but ive done a couple of 100 during my years as a mechanic. I was told by a senior tire tech at Pirelli that you should always let all the air out of the tire when you have seated the beads on the rim. This way the beads sinks down on the horn on the rim and gets seated the correct way. When all the air is let out you pump it up again and then insert the valve core. I have tried both ways and you always get better balancing performance if you let all the air out. I was told that if you dont your balancing gets done incorrect and when the wheel rotates the first times on the road the bead sets correct and the balancing could be off up to as much as 20 gram.

I had a 1977 Ford Thunderbird that came from the factory with plastic clad steel wheels. Yup, 1977. At the time aluminum wheels were very expensive. Most cars came with steel wheels and hubcaps. Plastic cladding over steel was a cheap way to achieve the look of aluminum wheels. Unfortunately those T-Bird wheels had a serious problem. It seems that whatever Ford was using for adhesive would ooze out and literally glue the wheel to the hub. I discovered this when a tire needing servicing and the wheel would not budge. I called Ford customer service, was informed by the person with whom I spoke with that my car was out of warranty, and then they hung up. Remember when cars only came with 12 month/12,000 mile warranties? I called around to some Ford dealers who told me Ford put out a TSB for the problem. The solution was to torch the wheel off, and replace the wheel, tire, brake rotor or drum and wheel bearing. Um, no. I went to a local tool rental place, rented their biggest gear puller and pulled the wheel off. While I had the gear puller I went around the car and discovered that another wheel was glued on as well. So, it seems that someone at GM remembers Ford's 'Better Idea" from the 70s. It's obvious why GM is doing this. It cheaper to glue a piece of plastic over the raw aluminum casting than it is to finish the rim in the customary manner. Here's a picture of the wheels in question: www.oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/Ford_Thunderbird/1977_Ford_Thunderbird/1977_Ford_Thunderbird_Brochure/1977%20Ford%20Thunderbird-06.jpg Here's a better picture of the wheel options for that model year: paintref.com/graphics/brochure/1977thunderbird2_08.jpg Wheel (B) is a fake wire wheel hubcap on a steel wheel, there were a half dozen other hubcap options offered as well. Wheel (C) was plastic cladding over steel. Ford called this the 'Styled Road Wheel'. Wheel (D) was a real aluminum wheel. These turbine style aluminum wheels were very popular back in the day...so popular a friend had those very wheels stolen off his car.

My fave was someone who had a similar issue to this one, They hit a 2x2 post on the road and the shop completely missed obvious internal belt damage on one tire and an inner sidewall separation balloon the size of a fist and told them the car needed new bearings and spindles due to damage and warping from running over the post. I doubt they even had it on a lift to have a good look at anything.

I don't have plastic clad rims on my Toyota (2015 Hilux double cab), only had some silly plastic bolt covers that kept falling apart so I just removed them altogether after my mechanic assured me they serve no practical purpose (just decorative). I don't really care how the wheels look, safety is far more important to me, so I invested in a set of good quality tires and that made a huge difference in the way the car drives and brakes on wet or muddy roads.

Great video Wes. Interesting stuff about the plastic clad rims; I learned something new today... lol Boy that tire tho... when I first looked at it before you mentioned it, it did indeed looked like it was rather odd and I had noticed the concave on the tread pattern. I used to word for Firestone making tires in the Decatur plant and I could see it but wasn't sure if it was the lighting and then when you moved it and pointed it out; you confirmed it for me. That is what is know as nylon separation and an absolute garbage build on the tire. The oil change bonus footage was a great skit, gave me a good giggle... lol THANKS FOR THIS!!

This was about 30 years ago, but I guy I worked with bought a set of tires, recaps I think, branded, no lie, "Durablem". This was before Chinesium tires were a thing so I don't know where they came from.

I do tires at a well respected local shop in my community. It's nice to watch someone take the same time we do, using the same products and procedures as I do, knowing the procedures are above your usual tire shop and even OEM dealers practices.... One thing to note, if you clean the hub mating surface with a wire wheel, and then apply the freylube to the hub mating surface, you will never have any rust on it again and if you do it almost wipes off

Firestone sells Primewell tires. That exact model as well. I had a tire go out of round/break a belt once. Wasn't NEARLY as bad as that one, but you could definitely feel it. At crawling speeds you could watch the steering wheel rotate 1/8th of a turn to the left and then re-center, each time the tire made a full revolution. Some people are just "mechanically unsympathetic"... or just flat out morons.

It's a good thing that Max is a dog. If he were a feline, he could do a cat scan on anything you bring home or comes into your shop. My felines do that. On one occasion I found catnip growing wild, and put some in my pocket. My tomcat discovered it and was pawing at my pocket. He got some, and it made his day, I'm sure.
