Been parked for a while.....time to start getting ready to get ready to head to Yuma....checked the tires....back side of rig, the side I only go to to dump....found rear tire almost flat. Aired it up, along with the others, next day, it was down 5 pounds. I religiously run 125 pounds in them. Took it off, took it to Goodyear shop in Golden....bad gasket on the metal valve stem....they had to order one from another shop....took them an hour overall, and refused to charge me....
Might be a good time to change all the valve stems....

I inquired about replacement 17.5 Goodyear's....he said they are still manufactured in the US.

Regards
