Anyone else having issues with peeling clearcoat on their rims? My car is only 4 months old and I love it but I am a bit concerned. Only use car was soap and microfiber mitt to clean. No chemicals no carwashes. All four wheels doing it at different levels of severity. Seems like a bonding issue. Will probably get a hard time and they will blame on chemicals... They looked sharp for the first 4 months. Also little pieces of trim between "wing" windows and main front windows (both sides) keep popping out. Lastly the LED(?) light for my "9-0" keyless entry digits doesn't light anymore. On a positive note getting 35.9 MPG lifetime (8,000 miles) with my 1.6 manual.

Trying to gander at some tire options for the future but I can't seem to find anything that would have more grip than what stock Pirelli's would have. Looking to go wider on the rear. Maybe 265. Still running stock CS rims which I believe are 8.5 wide so I don't want to go too wide on the tire. Any ideas? Nitto's? BF Goodrench? Yokohama? Street Radials maybe? What website has a good selection other than Discount Tire Direct.com? Thanks for all the info!

Anyone know how to repair curb rash? Im not sure if I want to go through the whole process of sanding, putty, primer, and paint. I was hoping anyone knew how to "clean it up" so it doesnt look as bad.

I originally posted this in the 19" rims for Hybrid Titaniums thread, but I believe the topic deserves it's own thread. Last week, I asked @FordService what tires come stock on a Fusion Hybrid Titanium. They got back to me this afternoon: When I look at Tirerack, the Goodyear Eagle LS2 is not listed as Low Rolling Resistance (LRR). In fact, I couldn't find ANY Low Rolling Resistance (LRR) tires in the 235/45R18 size. So, Ford is shipping the Fusion Hybrid Titaniums with only one possible rim (18") and non-LRR tires? How did they get 47/47/47 MPG with non-LRR tires?
