Valve stem failure

[SilverHorse]

Anyone ever have this with thier tire? This morning I hear a hissing sound coming from my car and air is leaking from the stem.

I never had it on either of my stangs, but if by chance it's just loose, you can buy the tool from walmart or target to screw it back in.

I'm not sure I can do that. It seems to come from the back of the rim. Of all the crap I've had happen to tires this has also never been one of them.

its common for that to happen. i work in a tire shop and we see it all the time. especially if you rub against a curb or have annoying kids in your neighbourhood. whenever you get your tires replaced its always a good idea to have new valve stems put in.

It WAS a slow leak until I left work at around 8 tonight. Nothing like changing a tire in the rain. I went Hulk on that. Even turned green and ripped my clothes!

I paid to have that done when I bought the tires and I've never curbed the "dubs" Not really dubs though, just 17" polished factory wheels.
