| While towing my camping trailer on the interstate i pulled into a rest stop. then i noticed the right rear tire was flat. later at a garage the serviceman found the valve stem had split. this was a snap-in rubber stem. i believe the tires on a truck of this size (gmc 2500hd) and with this air pressure (80 psi rear, 55 front) should have steel clamp-in type stems. *tr | |||
