Phil...thanks for the link. Here is my problem with this stuff. I have been thru 4 or 5 different rear inside dually valve stems and none of them, to date, has held up. The most common weakness is at the valve, itself. It gets weak from movement I guess..next thing is..flatski.
I am going to try again here in Canada at the chain of shops I would usually get my tires serviced at. If I order on-line, again...and they fail, again...I am stuck for a refund, again.
The other thing you mentioned is picking up rocks, etc after airing down...it was suggested, and why I didn't remember myself?...spacers. You can find them easily enough on line. They sit between the rears and once aired down, keep that sharp trash from getting into the squished up tires. Also keep the tires from rubbing together. I would think that in the two applications..each is going to affect tires differently. In sand...I don't think that a person is going more than 4? maybe 5 miles max. Over rocks...probably not quite so much air down and a person shouldn't be going all that fast anyway. I am thinking of roads in Death Valley. There is a guy on here..Off-Pavement, that does lots of off road, back country Jeep stuff. I'll have to ask him, if he doesn't join in.
I bought a 400P VIAR compressor.
