| Description of the problem | I have had to replace 3 of 4 my valve stems because the threading around were you put the cap on twisted off while i was putting air in my tire. While removing the cap the stem had snapped right at the thread. The first time this happened was 180 miles away from my residence. Another time i was three states away. Having this happen while not near you home is very frustrating and was very frustrating. On the second time i was foolish enough to have a tire person talk me out of not getting it replaced, three days later out of state it snapped on me. What a freaking headache. I still the broken piece in my car after the guy fixed it for me. What a mess. |
