I've heard this "internet story" before and asked a buddy that owns a tire store that sells almost every tire made. He said it's B.S.
I ordered my tires from Discount Tire and had them mounted on my Vintage Wheels knock offs. They did an awesome job and took great care mounting and balancing the tires. No problems at all.
By no means I consider myself a tire expert, however, this was confirmed by Michelin people and they are the experts...I had a bad experience and it coincided with what happened to my tires.
