1 Tire Bead problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2001

Both front tires have gone completely flat. Tire dealer stated that this is due to alloy rims contracting with the low profile tires. One was a newly replaced tire, the other tire had 11,00 miles on it. The right wheel is slightly bent, and I am told that this cannot be repaired and this could cause an incomplete seal around the bead/rim. I am currently checking tire pressure every two weeks, and most recently had pressure as low as 10 psi on rear right, and 15-25 on all others. Tire dealer stated this problem is due to combination of aluminum rims and low profile tires. This appears to be quite an unsafe combination if he is correct. I cannot believe that I need to reinflate my tires every three weeks! thanks for your assistance. (tiresize: p215/50r17).
