“Three tires have been deflated while traveling at highway speeds on three separate occasions. This has been confirmed to have been caused by the valve stems, having cuts in them at the rim. After replacing the valve stems, although damaged, the tires all still held air. These goodyear tires were brand new in 2007 installed at a wal-mart service center. I am thankful I wasn't killed.”
NHTSA complaint #10245028, filed 2008-10, 120,000 miles“I was driving into the driveway at home and noticed a noise behind Chevrolet 2000g high top conversion van. I didn't see anything initially from the rear view mirrors. I later discovered the spare tire was lying in the street. The steel cable that held it up at the bottom of the van broke completely. I was lucky it happened in our driveway. If we were going down an interstate it could cause a serious accident if someone were following me very close. I wonder if anyone else have reported this incident. There appeared to be no other mechanism attached to keep the spare tire from falling off. …”
