[Chrysler300] tires and rim

["Bob Merritt" <bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A club member without email (he lives in a cave) sends me this to post 
regarding tires and rims:

This excerpt is from the 1955 Chrysler owners manual. All Chrysler products 
from this year on had the "Safety-Rim Wheels". Just as it says, the tire 
will not come off the rim due to tire failure. All other manufacturer's rims 
do not have this feature. Nor do after market rims. This feature is 
exclusive to Chrysler even today. Think very carefully about the safety of 
your valuable car under these circumstances, no matter what "guarantee" you 
get for replacement rims.

"Your Chrysler's TUBELESS Super Cushion Tires are of the latest, most 
advanced design--quieter, lighter weight, cooler running and give your car 
better traction. With "Safety-Rim Wheels, they give you unmatched protection 
against sudden tire failure.
  In case of a severe puncture which allows all the tire's air to escape 
immediately, the "Safety-Rim Wheel" will hold the tire to the rim, enabling 
you to bring your car to a smooth, controlled stop".
