[QUOTE="ERS, post: 1465301, member: 28457"] I don't think its possible for the valve stem to blow out unless it was defective or wrong size. It is possible that the rubber was rotted enough to crack and leak but even then it would be unusual for it to disappear completely. I'd look for the remains of the valve stem inside the rim but I'd be suspicious of whoever installed that tire as they should have at least inspected the stem too. Glad you were able to keep control and stop before something worse happened. The tire should be OK if it didn't break the bead and run on the rim. If so the damage should be visible. [/QUOTE]
