While towing my camping trailer on the interstate I pulled into a rest stop. Then I noticed the right rear tire was flat. Later at a garage the serviceman found the valve stem had split. This was a snap-in rubber stem. I believe the tires on a truck of this size (GMC 2500hd) and with this air pressure (80 psi rear, 55 front) should have steel clamp-in type stems.

New looking snow tire, tread separated from tire. Approx. 62 mph doing damage to truck wheel well. Tire did not go flat. Check other three matching tires, all looked ok. Continued on trip, parked for the night. Approx. 70 more miles into trip other rear tire separated and went flat, causing damage to other side of pickup wheel well. Called aaa tow to tire store for a new set of four. Pickup is an GMC 2500 hd, 2006. Between the two separations approx. $6500 dollars damage.
