I was 8 miles from my drop off Sat., and had a blow-out on right front. The tire was completly gone, all but the inner side wall. Long story short. I went to bell Tire and they didn't have the tire that matched the rest. So I headed to Discount Tire. Little young dude met me before I stopped. What can we do for you today? Come look at this I said. Showed him the blow-out and he looked at it and said, "You know why it blew?" Nope I said. He said he did.....really, three folks looked at it at Bell and could'nt say why it happened, how could this young little dude know? He knew, because he knew what he was doing.
Yep, look here, as he was pointing and moving the value steem, see the steem failed. Yes it did, as I could see a split in the steem. He said it was the wrong steem for the tire. Well that made me think back a few months when I had a value steem go out while sitting.....hummm.
He showed me the vaule steem on my spare and said see the differance, this one is bigger at the rim and is metal. It is for high psi. The ones you have are for psi of max 65 psi. I was running 70 psi in front and 80 psi in rear.
I've been running with these low psi value steems since I changed out the orig. ones way back when. I now have 4 new feet for the sprinter.
If you are running with high psi, make sure you have the correct value steems. It will just be a matter of time.
