Hi there, I have asked you previously 7.9.03 in this thread what I believed was a pertinent question (no response) and now you appear to be making more technical claims re wheel rim edges again are your comments personal or based on evidence from SAAB, Michelin, some other tyre company or another US or worldwide statistical body. Because it would appear that whist you have suffered 2 blowouts in 5,000 miles others appear not to have done or do you have hard corroborated evidence to the contrary? I have not found any corroborating evidence to substantiate your claims thus far so am left wondering where your information was gleamed from? Many thanks, Tim.
