Shredded 2nd tire in two trips

This is getting kinda spendy.. Thought the first one may have been a valve stem. Wanted to get the tire pressure/temp gauge from Dakota Digital.
Could not afford it, on the way back shredded another one, same position, oddly. This time the valve stem was like a hanging chad. a very light touch, and
it pulled right off. Going to put in all metal stems before she moves again.
Be forewarned. You get what you pay for, and when looking down and seeing smoke in the mirror at 70mph is a matter of $4......
