Enhanced TireGard TPMS 2 Wheel + Trailer
ITEM CODE: BB13317A, SKU: BB13317A

Broken Valve Stem
| Worked fine when I installed it but on I40, west of Tucumcari, New Mexico I accelerated from 65 to 72 and said to my wife "What smells like burned rubber?" I pulled over to the side of the road and there was rubber spattered on the front of my trailer and everything behind the rear wheel which was flat. Fast forward to the Honda shop in Albuquerque and the mechanic replaced the tire because it was destroyed. He told me that the valve stem was cracked, probably by the extra weight of the pressure sensor on the right angle valve stem on my Goldwing rear wheel. We hadn't gone 10 miles from Tucumcari and that at 60 to 65 mph. The tire was new before we left Wisconsin about a week earlier and the pressure was good 10 miles back. Needless to say, the TPMS came of and went back in the box. I wouldn't recommend using it on a right angle valve stem and therefore not on a Goldwing at all. |
