The importance of Valve Stems
Replacing valve stems are recommended with every tire purchase. When replacing only the tires or wheels, we highly recommend that the valve stems be replaced.
A few things to consider
- Valve stems are responsible for keeping your tires inflated, and allow you to add or subtract air pressure.
- The diameter of passenger car and light truck valve stems is a standard size that fits virtually every wheel.
- Valve stems come in both rubber and metal varieties. They can easily be replaced on your wheel by one of our recommended installers.
- A common myth is that the valve stems never need replacing. The rubber in your valve stems dries and cracks in the same way that your tires do. Valve stems should be replaced at least as often as your tires.
