Anybody ever had an issue with their valve stems? My rear tire went flat on the way home Friday. I only have about 4000 miles on this set of tires and was not liking the prospect of having to get another new rear tire so soon. When I aired it up to check for the leak, the air was escaping around where the stem goes into the rim (it is tubeless). I am beginning to think that the stems were not changed when the new tires were put on. On the otherhand, I have had the same set of tires on my Explorer for 8 years, so those stems haven't been changed for that period of time and I have never heard of valve stems going bad before. I know I always get new stems on the Explorer because I always have to buy new chrome stem covers because they don't take them off of the old stems.
