Failed Valve Stem
Just wanted to add my story on valve stems. My 2005 3023 blew a tire and the cause was the rubber valve stem according to the repair shop. He checked the other tire and the valve stem was checked and leaking. These tires were about 30 months old and had about 15000 miles on them. I had just set the pressure at 62 PSI about 500 miles before the blowout. No problem controlling the TM at 60 MPH. Rim was ruined but no damage to the wheel well. Now I have 3 metal valve stems.
