Consumer Description

THIS IS FOR DEFECTIVE VALVE STEMS. I PURCHASED NEW TIRES FROM MAVIS TIRE CORP. IN NOVEMBER 2006 AND IN JUNE 2008 I HAD 1 VALVE STEM FAIL. IT HAPPENED WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED. I BROUGHT IT BACK AND HAD TO INSIST TO HAVE IT REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE SINCE IT WAS A DEFECTIVE PART. AT THAT TIME I DID NOT KNOW OF THE PROBLEM THAT EXISTED WITH THE STEMS. NOW I AM BEGINNING TO WONDER IF THE OTHER 3 VALVE STEMS WILL FAIL AS WELL. I AM SURE THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THEM FREE OF CHARGE WITHOUT A RECALL. *TR
