I have a 2009 Chevrolet Express 3500 with 51,000 miles on it. In a two week period at the end of Jan '10 I had 3 tire valve stem failures. When I attempted to remove the valve cap to check air pressure the top of the stem blew right off. I've replaced three and the one remaining factory valve stem is on the drivers side front tire. I'm in fear of my life driving with this equipment. What happens if it fails while I'm driving 60 mph down the highway ??.
Vehicle was shaking. Took to rudy schmid inc. In syracuse, NY for alignment. Was told vehicle was in alignment. Was told that the steel belts in the tires were bad due to tires bulging on the outside and indented in the center of the tire. Would not recommend tire rotation. All 6 tires are effected. The worse tire passenger front was used in the data collected by this site.
