    Driving on i-84 during a rainy morning rush hour, at 70mph, my honda civic's front left tire experienced an immediate loss of air. I pulled over to the next exit and changed the tire. Took the tire to the local tire shop for repair, and they discovered that the valve stem had failed. At that speed, the tires were ruined, so i had to buy a new tire. *tr

    2 valve stems failed on vehicle. First one caused the tire to be damaged beyond repair. The second one was noticed before damage was done. Had the damaged tire replaced and all valve stems replaced. I have 2 of the valve stems that were replaced. *tr

    One evening, i found my parked 2002 honda civic had a flat rear left tire. There was no apparent damage to the tire, and when the tire was replaced, the technician confirmed that the tire suffered a valve stem failure. The next day, as i was driving on the freeway at 65 mph, the rear right tire blew out. Again, the tire had a valve stem failure. I bought both these tires (goodyear weatherhandler ls) at the same…

    Tire valve stems cracked,this caused a slow air pressure leak to the tire while driving only. This has happen to me twice in one week, causing damages to two tires and had to be replaced. This is not only a costly expense,but very unsafe driving. *tr

    Tire blew out on the highway at 65mph. After inspecting the tire when returning home to determine root cause of the failure the valve stem was found to be cracked all the way through only attached by a small amount of rubber. Inspected other valve stems and all were found to be cracked almost all the way through. Tires were recently replaced in the summer of 2008. *tr

    I have had four flat tires within three months due to valve stem failure. These were tires purchased from sears at the end of 2006. Fortunately, the deflations occurred when the car was parked, so there were no accidents as a result. Sears replaced the valve stems for me, but their personnel professed to be mystified concerning the reason for the repeated valve stem failures. After the fourth failure, i did some…
