I've heard of ice/snow getting packed into the bead and that causing a leak, but never corrosion of a wheel weight.

The tires I have one now are Continentals, my emergency pair are old Pirelli M&S.
That is crazy, but I guess it makes sense -- rust does like to create holes. Just look at my Eclipse!

So with the leak fixed, you're okay on the tire situation, right? I don't recall how your tread looked.

A bit of geek info for you all:
The Killzone2 demo is out. I heard a guy saying that he new a guy that knows a guy who created a UK user account on his PS3 and downloaded the demo since the only way to get it in the US is to preorder it from game stop, while it is free in the UK. I hear that the guy said it takes about 2 hours to download and is a bit short but after playing it through a couple of times to get the hang of the controls had an opinion of it being a bad a$$ game...

Yeah, I'm ok for tires. Thanks Nick.

They're still suck-in-all-seasons...but I'll eventually remedy that.
