Driving on I-84 during a rainy morning rush hour, at 70mph, my Honda Civic's front left tire experienced an immediate loss of air. I pulled over to the next exit and changed the tire. Took the tire to the local tire shop for repair, and they discovered that the valve stem had failed. At that speed, the tires were ruined, so I had to buy a new tire.
