Consumer Description

FAULTY VALVE STEM ON 2002 HYUNDAI SONATA. THE TIRES WERE KUMHO TIRES. WHILE DRIVING ALONG THE EXPRESSWAY, WITHIN ABOUT A MILE OF DRIVING THE AIR IN THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE DEPRESSURIZED. SINCE I'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE ON THE OTHER TIRES, I KNEW BEFORE I GOT OUT OF THE CAR THAT IT WAS A CRACKED VALVE STEM. THE TIRE WAS NO GOOD ANYMORE BECAUSE THE RIM CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE TIRE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. ABOUT A MONTH LATER, THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE DID THE SAME THING BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET THE SPARE ON BEFORE COMPLETE DEPRESSURIZATION. THE VALVE STEMS WERE REPLACED BY DISCOUNT TIRE. UPON INSPECTION TODAY, THE FIRST ONE MAY BE SHOWING SIGNS OF CRACKING AGAIN. *TR
