Re: buckled another rim

Good points, Mik.
Frankly, I don't know. Damage to rims can happen on most cars with skinny tires. Somewhere on this site there was a report a long time ago of a badly buckled rim on a 911, a mid-engined vehicle you would expect to have decent wheels, but of course with a low profile tyre.
Am I correct in thinking that the default tires on the WT have a 55 profile rather than the 45 on the WS?
Someone has argued to me that rim damage is less likely with ultra high performance tyres, on the grounds that they have more and better belts, and don't deform as much as ordinary tyres. Again, I don't know. It's an interesting thought.
