2014 Honda Pilot Wheels Problems

“Over a period of time from 2/14/16 until 2/29/16, I have had issues with flat tires due to cracks in the weld of a rim. One was discovered and I had it repaired.

I live on a dirt road, but have not hit any potholes, curbs or anything else that seemed a possible cause of the cracks. …”

I found multiple reports of destructive delaminations in service on the nhsta site, but no recall. Tires are 235/60 r18, date codes 4217 and 4717 total mileage unknown (in place when vehicle purchased used, purportedly new but more than a year old by date code, less than 20,000 miles that I know of, plenty of tread left.) have leaked slowly for a while, assumed it was valve stem seals, asked mechanic to look at it. …”
