OWNER PUT NEW GOODYEAR ASSURANCE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE ON 12/31/10 AT A GOODYEAR DEALERSHIP. IN SPRING 2013 ALL FOUR TIRES STARTED LOSING AIR, AND THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT ON THE DASH ILLUMINATED. THE OWNER BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE GOODYEAR DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE TIRES ARE FINE, BUT THAT THE OEM CHROME WHEELS ARE DEGRADING, CAUSING SMALL GAPS FOR THE AIR TO LEAK OUT.
