Re: Valve stems
Written by lcshepp on 7/21/2001 at 07:01 pm

Hi Jesus,

"Is there a way to prevent this from happening? I mean, like changing
the valve stems every other tire change, or having some method to
determine if the valve stem is getting old?."

Just inspecting them when the tire is changed should be enough.

One of mine failed and it was losing air badly. When I looked at it,
the thing was half torn open right at the opening in the rim. The back
one was OK. We replaced both.
