TIRE VALVE STEM HAD A TOTAL AND COMPLETE FAILURE ON THE HIGHWAY AT TOP SPEED. TIRES WERE CORRECTLY INFLATED BUT THE VALVE STEMS FAILED WHERE THE RUBBER MEETS THE WHEEL. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS WHICH DESTROYED THE TIRE EVERY TIME. I HAVE LOST OVER $600 FOR THREE TIRES BECAUSE OF THESE VALVE STEMS AND LUCKILY HAVEN'T BEEN KILLED, YET.
PRIMEWELL VALERA TOURING PART NUMBER 004-217, BOUGHT TIRES IN OCT/NOV 2013 AT 83000 MILES. CURRENTLY HAVE 106,000 MILES. ONE OF THE FOUR TIRES IS STARTING TO GET VISUAL TIRE SEPERATION, A SECOND HAS SIMILIAR MARKINGS BUT NOT AS SEVERE
ALL OF MY TIRES HAVE BULGES AND PITS IN THEM. I'VE ONLY HAD MY VEHICLE FOR ONE YEAR. THE TIRES STILL HAVE EXCELLENT TREAD ON THEM, BUT THEY'VE DEVELOPED PITS AND BULGES. I NEVER DRIVE ON THE GRAVEL AND I LIVE ON A PAVED ROAD. I TOOK MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND HE BELIEVES THAT THE TIRES HAVE SOME KIND OF DEFECT. THE SIZE OF MY TIRES ARE 215 / 65/R16. *TR
I HAVE EXPERIENCED TWO VALVE STEM FAILURES ON TWO DIFFERENT TIRES (PIRELLI P-ZERO) ON MY 2005 FORD MUSTANG. I HAD THE VALVE STEM REPLACED THE FIRST TIME AND WILL DO SO AGAIN. I WILL KEEP THE OLD VALVE STEM FROM THIS LATEST INCIDENT. *TR
I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75-80 MPH ON I-10 WESTBOUND IN KATY, TX ON A SUNNY DAY, APPX 90 DEGREES. I NOTICED THE BACK END OF THE CAR SWAY FROM SIDE TO SIDE. I SLOWED TO APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH AND THEN HEARD A POP AND THE CAR STARTED SWAYING ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLY AND BOUNCING. HAVING EXPERIENCED BLOWOUTS BEFORE, I KNEW THAT I HAD BLOWN A TIRE. I PULLED INTO THE BREAKDOWN LANE AND NOTED THE DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE WAS COMPLETELY SHREDDED AROUND THE ENTIRE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE TIRE AT THE SIDEWALL. I HAD LESS THAN 200 MILES ON A BRAND NEW 2005 ROUSH MUSTANG WHEN THIS OCCURRED. IF I HAD NOT HAD HIGH-SPEED DRIVING TRAINING, I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AND CRASHED INTO THE CONCRETE BARRIER. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND DEMANDED A REPLACEMENT AT NO CHARGE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TIRE. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THE DEALER DESTROYED THE DEFECTIVE TIRE OR NOT. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALER WHAT THEY FOUND WHEN THEY REPLACED THE TIRE, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO APPARENT DAMAGE THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE TIRE. (P 275/40 R 18).*JB
