finding little glass like beads in tire stem
In 2012 we put 19.5 wheels and G rated tires on the rear of our F-350 in Bismarck ND. We check the tires on a regular basis and in May 2016 found the stem was clogged on the driver's side rear tir...

I'm learning quite a bit from all of you that are posting. So they didn't use the right size bead when they put the tires on. Obviously we have the small size and that's why it's getting in the valve stem.
Our valve stem was at 10 o'clock position... I've told hubby about the shot of compressed air before he checks the tire...and the valve stem should be a the 6 o'clock position. he's not too crazy about having to do that each time...because we have to have the air compressor out just to check the pressure. oh well.
I'll chock this off to lessons learned... we're not going back to talk to that place that put those wheels on.
The last conversation I had with anyone there was about them not tightening the bolt on the brake calipher like it should have been.

We were going thru Chicago Interstate 94 close to Interstate 55... suddenly there was this horrible noise when we tried to brake.
Bolt fell off on the front wheel brake calipher.
