I have a 2001 Honda Civic whose front tires were replaced about 3 years ago at sears. About 3 months ago, I blew out my right front tire on a highway and when I took it to the garage, I was told that the valve stem had blown out and I could see that the valve stem was cracked. I went to sears and complained but they claimed that if the valve stem was faulty I should not be able to drive but this happened on a highway and they did not believe me. I got a replacement tire from them to match the front left which was a sears tire. About 2 weeks after my front right tire blew out, I went drive my car and I noticed that my front left tire was flat and suspecting the valve stem I checked for it. I noticed that the valve stem was cracked. I took my car to a local garage to get the valve stem changed. My rear tires are older than my front tire and the valve stem is fine. My gut feeling is that the sears valve stem are defective because they both cracked, the front right on a highway and the front left in my driveway.
