I would like to take this time to share with everyone what happened to me so you too can be as safe as one can with some added safety checks. I was putting 80 psi in my 5th wheel tires and my valve stems would leak only if I moved them side to side. The tire was fine, within 5 years of age and no dry rot. The Valve stems have No date on them, so the manufacture could buy 10 year in bulk and there you are, so I’m changing mine every three years. All 5 of my valve stems leaked so I took them to a tire shop and they only had to break the valve stem side and put a New one in “TO EASY”. When a good tire blows out, there is a reason why. Happy and Safe Traveling Barry
