I had a rear-outer that absolutely REFUSED to hold pressure. After playing around with the tire/rim for nearly 2 HOURS, the mechanic could not find a leak. He even went to the point of completely removing the tire from the rim and doing an inch-by-inch inspection. Could not find a single issue.
Went to "de" winterize a few weeks ago, and the tire was flat AGAIN. I had already considered "Tire Man" valves, but this kinda put me over.
Had them installed (by a local shop that does A LOT of "dually" work (Limos, buses, HD trucks) and even THEY were impressed with the quality and precision.
If Chuck's REPLACEMENT valves (as these are not just extenders) save me ONE tire pressure loss, it'll be worth it. I just can't put my faith in a rubber or even braided steel extension when it comes to my family's safety.
