Minor Problem w/ Darkside

One problem I did not really consider was that if a car tire you buy at one place and have mounted another place leaks, who is responsible? The guy who mounted it says its the tires fault, not his. The place that sells the tire says it's my fault because it's not meant to be on a motorcycle rim. Actually I think it was the tires fault, because it was fully seated, lost 5 psi per day, but did not leak around valve stem. Food for thought....

Wow!!!!! Never heard of this before! Have you put it in a large vessel of water to see where the leak is coming from. This will determine who's fault it is?????

Sounds like you might have to fix it yourself since no one wants to own up to it!

Sorry you are having problems....let us know how it's going?

Or you could take it back to who ever mounted it for you and tell them you really don't care whos fault it is, I just need it fixed. Sounds like the valve stem or trash under the bead.
