Exactly. The black goop works on aluminum wheels just fine - but not if they're lazy and don't clean the beads first. Discount pretty much has to follow the path that won't put them in any possible liability so it's not on the menu there.I’ve cleaned up a bunch of corroded aluminum beads. Worn out flapper discs, roloc cookies, soft wire wheels, then some of that black tire pooky. Same thing with the valve stem.
Discount tire is pretty “corporate“ so they might not fix a bead. A little brightly colored, ex gas station with hand painted signage-tire shop would do it for ya though.
