| I was traveling down the interstate and the valve stem on the left rear tire disappeared causing rapid deflation of the tire. i was traveling at highway speeds and this happened on a bridge that was a mile long with no place to stop. after installing the donut spare i entered tire into my gps to find a location for repair since i was still 500 miles from home. the tire shop i first stopped at dismounted the tire and diagnosed the cause as the nut that holds the valve stem / tire sensor in the wheel came off. he informed me that the tire was ruined and he had no replacement in that size available. advised me to the nearest shop in another town that might have a tire my size. he also inspected the other valve stems and found 2 of the 3 remaining retaining nuts cracked and advised me to get my vehicle in a dealership for repairs due to immenent failure of more parts. | |||
