Steve how come the TPMS sensors were not checked when you had the tyres fitted to the new wheels

This is what I’m so concerned about... especially Kwik Fit (no offence to anyone who works there but previous bad experiences!).

So stressful!
If you have had previous bad experiences why are you going back there?

A more plausible cause of cracked 19" rims than run-flats?

Never heard of that, only scratches/scrapes from the machines catching the rims-usually caused by inexperienced or careless fitters :oops:

Yes you certainly should not crack a rim fitting a tyre, when fitting new tyres the force is applied to the outside of the rim whereas the cracks appear to the inside

Id agree no wheel should be cracked or split simply from tyre removal or fiutting but not always the case that the tyre is fitted to the outside or face . many aftermarket wheels need to be laid face down ( on rubber machine inserts ) & tyres fitted in effect backwards

Need my car and at the moment, they seem to be the only place equipped to deal with my issue! Even BMW would need to order the valves in!

These tyres don’t no, still never kerbed a wheel!
Can’t believe you said that after fitting new wheels!

They look great, hope you get the problem sorted ASAP.

Used a few tyre fitting machines in my time, but never needed to mount the wheel upside down, so that must be something new.

Both my last 2 sets of 19s needed to be tyred up inverted , i think its due to the spoke sitting marginally proud of the rim
