Dt contact's vehicle lost two back tires because of the tire stems. This is a dually vehicle. The rear inner tires blew out. The dealer can not get replacement tires. The dealer did an examination of the tires, and they determined that the valve stems split open. Had all six valve stems replaced. The tires are serviced regularly, and the recommended pressure is 60 lbs.
