Abstract: A tire failure indicator includes a housing mounted in an air tight relation about the tire valve and between the tire valve and the rim valve opening. The housing is threadably mounted in a sealed relation at its outer end to the threaded valve end to provide a sealed enclosure. An indicator sleeve extends from the chamber and contains a pressure responsive indicator which moves into an indicating position when air pressure within the chamber increases as a result of tire failure.
