"Tire Expert"? Be serious. If a tire has a DOT rating, and they all do, it has to meet the specs. for that tire. If not, it's scrapped.
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.
