I just got "wind" that when one rolls their fenders accomodate 315's (rub) that the paint will start showing cracks, after a period of time.
Are most in here, who run 315's, seeing this issue ? .....concerned future user. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

This is one of the things keeping me away from 315s. I suspect that there will also be some fatigue cracks in the rust-resistant zinc plating (a big deal for cars like mine that see salt).
I have heard that gently heating the paint with a blow dryer will help keep it from cracking. |
