Description of the problem | Apparent defective valves on yokohama geolander g91-f stock tires that came with the new vehicle. Car with only 7,626 miles, minimal tread wear, traveling on highway @ 65mph low tire pressure indicator comes on, and ~ 5 sec later the rear driver's side tire just completely shredding. Outside wall completely separating and tire valve nowhere to be found. Driven mini spare to local firestone tire center. Told to keep the tire as evidence, no puncture noted. Not one month later, low pressure light again while driving @ 65mph on another highway, this time the front passenger tire now with a leak. Checked and stopped multiple times to ensure only a slow leak. Able to be seen at a nearby costco tire center and diagnosed with a slow leak coming from the tire valve. 2 different stock yokohama tires both with very low miles, one with devastating blow out apparently occurring about the tire valve, the second tire with a slow defective valve leak. No punctures noted when examined at either tire center. |
