yeah it wont work unless you clean up the rim REALLY good where the kiss mark is. I got away with it twice, but was rejected the first time where the tech showed me the "kiss" mark of black rubber on the rim bead edge haha.

the pzeros have a horrible problem of bubbling too. My father drives a clk 500 and he bubbled 6 of these tires thanks to nyc's finest potholes. I put cheap kumho's on and no more bubbling problems. whaddya know! The sidewalls on the pzeros are real thin, a great tire but definately not very good if you need something durable.

I agree that I am not too impressed with these tires..... They are not even directional..... My nexted set of tires will be michilene (*SP) pilot sports.... those were on my set of 17s and were great!!!
