I guess I pushed those stock Providers to the limit. After the three out of four valve stem failures, I was going to take the one survivor to the shop and get the stem replaced with steel. As I was about to take it off, the tire was worn out. Completely on the inside and 3/32 on the outside. The rest of the tires had 8/32 of tread left. This is the left rear tire. Directly under the frig. I wondering if the extra weight caused it. Bearings were checked. Any way, I carried it in and had 4 Sailun 637 installed. When I went to pick it up, the guy that installed the tires asked me if I saw the ones he took off. One of the tires I thought was good had a bubble on the inside close to the rim the size of an egg. I'm sure next trip it would have blown. Really dodged a bullet. The owner of the tire store was commenting and how heavy the Sailun's were.
