Looking around the site there are many people with this car that are experiencing the exact same issue, so that would suggest that the compounds they are using aren't strong enough to handle the 'basic' daily usage of the car. Design issue. Aren't things like that supposed to be covered by manufacturers?
Update on the Rim issue...
So bought all new rims, and verified with the dealer on 2 occasions if they are able to install them.
Sure enough they managed to cut the lip on one of the rear tires, and scratched up one of my brand new rims at the same time! Now still unable to use my xfire... (been since Monday) and they won't supply a rental/replacement car because "the cost of the refinishing of the rim and replacement of the rear tire is too expensive so no room in their budget to cover a rental car"
unbelievable...
I wish the Toronto area had some better facilities for car...
