I like Discount Tire and do business with them
BUT the fool working there is WRONG installing those snap in rubber high pressure stems.
NOT the right application for 'G' rated tires
Those 'snap in rubber high pressure' valve stems are only rated for pressures UP to 100#

Metal high pressures are good for pressures UP to 200#

I have the rubber high pressures on my truck (metal doesn't fit due to wheel design) but max pressure is 80#.
I have metal on 5vr due to 110# 'G' rated tires
