Re: [VAL] Goodyear Marathon blowouts



Thank you.  I will check the tires on my 34' Excella FK.

Also, is everyone *aware* that above certain tire pressures you NEED to have 
METAL tire stems rather than rubber ones?

I believe that somewhere I read something like IF your tire pressures are 
above 65 PSI you need metal tire stems.  Seems that the rubber tire stems 
max out at 65 PSI and could actually blow out of the wheel causing a rapid 
loss of air pressure.

Anyone know about this issue?
