Low tire pressure warning for "right rear" on my 2002 chevrolet corvette. Inspection of the removed tire and "polished aluminum" wheel indicate a crack in one of the spokes where it joins the outside of the wheel. A complete failure could cause a serious condition involving property damage, personal injury and/or death.
