We tried to replace our tires for the first time and two of the wheel locks were completely oxidized on and could not be pulled off or broken by anyone at three different shops. We were told this is due to poor design. As soon as someone tries to turn the wheel locks they were completely stripped and from then on impossible to remove. We have not been able to replace our low tread tires due to this problem.
