Description of the problem	I purchased 4 sumitomo tires from ntb on wednesday, 12-15-09. On friday, 12-17, just 2 days later, i packed up for a trip to boston from dc with my wife and 2 toddler children for a scheduled event that i was slated to speak at.

Upon my arrival back to dc, i went to the ntb in alexandria and asked them to explain why they sold me these recalled parts. The manager told me that he has been in this business for 20 years and never heard of valve stems being recalled.

He told me i am the first person to ever make this complaint. I told him i could care less about the # of people who complained before me and that had my family and i left a day later, we would have been driving in wet conditions and could have crashed. He said the tires seem to be working fine now so what
