Borg Valve stems touching wheel simulators
I had my Borg valve stems installed yesterday, but they could not fit the wheel covers on them. I can bend them and get them in, but the outside valve stem would be contacting the cover. Is this a pro...

I had to dremel 3 of the 4 wheel simulators to keep them from touching.

Please excuse my newbie ignorance, but why do you guys use extended valve stems? With how much they cost including installation, one can buy a portable air compressor and a dually chuck to check and fill air any time. How about when you need to rotate the tires, do you have to dismount the tires to switch the stems also?
We have the extended valve stems so we can reach them with the compressor and dually chuck more easily.
I don't rotate the tires. You won't drive an RV enough to wear the tread, so there is no need to rotate the tires to even out the tread wear. When I replaced my previous tires, at 7 years old, the tread still looked new. The sidewalls were a different story.
