| 2002 | TIRES | TIRE VALVE STEM FAILURE. ALL FOUR OF MY VALVE STEMS FAILED FROM WHAT APPEARS TO BE DRY ROT WITHIN A FOUR WEEK PERIOD. I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH WHEN MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT. THE VALVE STEM HAD ROTTED OFF. AFTER PUTTING ON MY SPARE TIRE, I PROCEEDED TO MY DESTINATION. TWO DAYS LATER, I HAD A FLAT IN THE PARKING LOT AT WORK. THE VALVE STEM HAD ROTTED. I CHECK MY OTHER TIRES, AND THE VALVE STEMS ON THEM WERE ROTTED ALSO. THESE TIRES ONLY HAVE ABOUT 20,000 MILES ON THEM. THE VALVE STEMS ARE THAT OLD AS THIS IS THE THIRD SET OF TIRES/STEMS I HAVE PUT ON MY TAHOE. THE ALLSTATE SERVICE TRUCK HELPED CHANGE THE TIRE ON THE SIDE OF ROAD. I WAS TRAVELING ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE, ABOUT 30 MILES NORTH OF FT. PIERCE FLORIDA WHEN THE EVENT OCCURRED. A FRIEND HAS GIVEN ME A PAPER THAT SAYS THERE WAS A MAJOR LAWSUIT AGAINST THIS VALVE STEM MANUFACTURE AND THAT DEATHS HAVE OCCURRED. I DO NOT KNOW WHY MY TAHOE DID NOT FLIP, BUT IT JERKED TO ONE SIDE, AND WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO STOP. THE TIRE WAS RUINED. I AM THANKFUL THAT I AM STILL ALIVE. *TR |
