Valve core itself, either a little ice in there or the o-rings shot. It would seat somewhat but if you bumped the needle it would leak again.

Best part is after spending 30 min getting the stupid thing to seat the tire place is just gonna pop the bead again to put a new stem in! Hahaha oh well.

Trevor doesn't deserve anything extra. He still has the goats.

I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

Av.nine you were close but close doesn't get you a win! It is the valve core, not the valve stem!  
  what a night jason! We'll have to meet under better circumstances next time! Hopefully, it won't involve a tire and a uturn ticket x2! Thanks for your help again!
On another note where do I get a valve stem core? im pretty sure the small the needle is bent our something...

I know you can get them from princess auto, or you could drop by my work and ask for steve, if you bring the tire I can swap the core out for you, its like a 2 second job.

NE costco tire shop. I would think most shops would swap a core for you if you asked them to. the core costs like a penny.

Well the valve cores are part of the valve stem. Its pretty obvious that if 2 or more tires are leaking bad it has something to do with valve stems.

All of my tires have gone flat intermittently , no schedule , rhyme or reason. Just changed the last valve in the tire stem yesterday morning when the tire was flat . Last time you got tires did the installer complain and grind of the mud residue with a wire brush grinder on the inside of the rim where the tire seats ?
