TIRES
WITH THE WHEEL SKINS AND SMALL HOLES IN THE WHEELS, PUTTING AIR IN THE INNER DUAL REAR TIRES IS IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT REMOVING REAR WHEELS. YOU CANNOT ADEQUATELY CHECK TIRE PRESSURE ON THESE INNER TIRES. THE MANUFACTURER OR ANY OTHER MANUFACTURER SHOULD PROVIDE A MEANS FOR THE VEHICLE USER TO EASILY CHECK SOMETHING SO VITAL AS TIRE PRESSURES. I CAN ONLY GET MINE CHECKED WHEN I HAVE TIRES ROTATED EVERY 5,000 MILES. THAT IS REDICULOUS!*AK
