Owner Narrative

To Whom It May Concern, I own a 2019 Tiffin Wayfarer on a Mercedes Sprinter Van chassis. Approximately one year ago on a trip I had a flat tire at about 25,000 miles. When the repair person inspected it, it turned out to be a valve stem issue. He replaced it and I was on the road. In August 2026 on a trip we had a tire go flat at about 30,000 miles and when the repair person inspected it, it turned out to be a valve stem issue. The valve stem split on the side, it didn't leak through valve. Two days later two of the other tires began to leak, though didn't go fully flat. I had these two tire valves replace too. This valve issue did destroy at least one of the tires in process. To recap, four of the six tires on the my 2019 Mecedes Sprinter van between 25k and 30k the valve stems went bad. I replaced two of the other six tires prior to the trip and the tire dealership replace the other two valve stems.
