[Tigers] Tires

[Jay Laifman]

Interesting. I had the same problem with my Silverstone mags.  I went to a
fancy wheel place because they had the best, most modern machines that
never touch the wheel.  They were right next door to an OReilly's.  But
they got metal bolt on stems from somewhere else.  They work fine.  I don't
know if they knew there was an issue with what O'Reilly's sold, or if it
was the same. Sure looks the same to me.  I am taking out the Tiger
tomorrow to go to the Ventura car show.  I'll take a picture and send it.
