Wheel problem #1

Optional wheels (17") corrode so tire breaks seal causing air lose and destruction of tire. Our car has about 30,000 miles on it and has had 6 tires replaced because of this problem.

Wheel Bolts problem #2

On two family-owned Volvo S60 t5's, all the wheel bolts have rusted (20 per car, 40 total) to the point where on one car the wheel bolts could not be removed to change the tire in an emergency situation. All 2001 S60/v70/v70xc models seem to have this problem with wheel bolts rusting.
