One month ago I had one tire fail because of a defective dill tire stem. Today (7/25/08) I had two tire stems fail at separate times while on the highway ruining both tires which were only 1 year old and in very good condition. While changing my tires the maintenance man tested the fourth tire and with slight finger pressure the stem broke.

I purchased this 1997 Honda Accord from my mom (she was the only owner) it only had 18,000 miles at the time. Currently the auto has a little more than 40,000 and there is noticable tire wear and the brakes make a strange clicking noise when braking.
