Default Did U actaully mount the tires yourself? more

If so did you get any of the sealant on the ground. someone recently glued thier tires to the driveway.

Rev up and get unstuck!

this is a wild guess, just trying to help. Good luck.

Default bolts that are too short (not enough threads engaged) can loosen themselves over time. like the

ones that Edge Racing sent me with my Flik Lex wheels.

they promptly sent me new bolts . . . that were the same (too short) length!! thanks guys!!
