No, not at all. A lot of people take "tire" as "tire" . You are right that
they SHOULD consider tires and their sub systems, but that is not
always the case around here.

I have seen wheels fail, especially where the bead seals.
Occasionally I have seen wheels corrode from inside and give a slow
leak.
And many trust the valve stem a lot more than you should. Leaks
past the valve are common, but also common are cracks in the
stem, or leaks around the mounting hole.
