Default Flat tire on my 68...

When I checked my Vettes in the garage.. I noticed that one of the tires was flat.. I checked and didn't find any damage to the tire... I removed the wheel, deflated the tire and checked the valve... The rubber on the valve was cracked so that it would lose air ... I went to Pep Boys to get some new valves.. I only changed the one on the wheel with the flat.. but tomorrow - I will change the valves on all the other tires... The rubber on those old valves starts cracking and air gets through the cracks... Those valves might be 30 years old... I put the wheel back on... I hope to get a chance to do the other ones tomorrow...

:cheers:
