Subsequent inspection of the tires revealed extreme pressure variances (ranging from 33 to 41 PSI) and multiple "sticky" or stuck tire valves, one of which remained open and caused rapid deflation. These defects represent a significant failure of the seller's advertised "150-point inspection" and posed an immediate life-safety risk at highway speeds. 01/05/2026 at 12:30pm ish
