[QUOTE="D2Cat, post: 1380260, member: 19322"] A tidbit of tire information. At the Ford plant in Claycomo, Mo. in the tire and wheel dept. the wheel comes off the conveyor and lays flat on the floor. Then the tire come off the conveyor and lands on the wheel. A robotic arm comes down and lines up the green dots, and rolls the tire onto the wheel. (This get the tire and wheel as close as possible for balance) Then a big funnel comes down and presses against the tire. With an instantaneous blast of air the tire is aired up. Once in a while a dealer will receive a vehicle and after is sets a while on the lot, will have a tire low on air without a valve stem to refill. The valve stem is not required at the factory and my never be noticed if the wheel is made without one. [/QUOTE]
