TireMan valve stems

Is their shop out of business? Emails bounce, phones don’t work. Web site still up?
  • Yes the web site is still up, but they don’t seem to be.
  • There is a Tireman in Thousand Oaks, CA. Phone number is 805 4977573 and it is a good number.

    Try them and see if they are the same company.
  • Use the forum search feature - believe I saw a thread a while back which indicated that the guy who founded/ran TireMan died. If so - might explain why nobody is returning inquiries.
  • Chuck Carvitto, died 05/04/2018. He had no children and his wife Sue died before him. He had closed his shop in Ridgecrest, CA, a few years ago and was selling custom valve stems by mail order. I don't think there was anyone to take over the tire stem business.
