- BobboExplorer IIIWhile I did have to notch a couple of the wheel simulators, it is not noticeable at all.

Something that is not discussed about these long tire stems is that the chrome simulated wheel covers will not fit unless they are modified by notching the wheel cover hole larger in order to clear the new stems, or leave the covers off. Both ways do not look good when done. All the Ad photos show wheels without the simulated wheel covers.
That is odd here is a picture of Tire Man valve stems on a Ford Wheel with simulators and I see no cut out,they fit perfectly in the center of the hole. - leeperExplorerSomething that is not discussed about these long tire stems is that the chrome simulated wheel covers will not fit unless they are modified by notching the wheel cover hole larger in order to clear the new stems, or leave the covers off.

I was at Camping would here in Houston this morning. they now have the solid extenders for Ford & Chevy for all 4 rear wheels were 79$ this morning...!!!! I paid a lot more for mine 6 months ago on the internet.
I was at my Camping World and looked at them,they look kind of cheaply made.
I guess you get what you pay for,$80 at Camping World,$120 on his website, they are all making money so I really wonder what they cost when they are made in china.
They are made in CHINA.Note the Part #
Glad I got the Made in The USA Tire Man valve stems.I never scrimp on things that may fail and cause major damage or an accident. - Toot_McExplorerI was at Camping would here in Houston this morning. they now have the solid extenders for Ford & Chevy for all 4 rear wheels were 79$ this morning...!!!! I paid a lot more for mine 6 months ago on the internet. I put new Michelins on my Coach House E-450 Ford and Discount tire installed the new solid stems for nothing, and they were balanced when all was done. I have put about 2000 miles on them and they are great, so very much easer to check the air because they are solid to put air hose and check the pressure. the rubber donut that fits into outside rim stabilizes the inside duel valve stem.
Next I plan on putting a pressure/temp system on all my Motor home and Towd so I can have live readings on all my Tires. - cruising_spudExplorer IIWe are on the East coast. Tireman is on the West coast. I called him and ordered valve extenders for our rv. He sent them and our local garage installed them. They have been great.
- VA-ApraisrExplorer IIThe photo above of the brass set from Tire Man is THE WAY to go, period!!! You won't regret the investment.
- dicknellenExplorer III have had Borg on my e-350 since Jan. 2014, very happy with them and no problems. Can check and air up all tires in ten minutes. Dick
- PenManExplorerI have had Tire Man valve extenders on my truck for several years and they work great. I would never have a dually without them.
- j-dExplorer IIHere's Borg (Bill Falkenborg) Duallyvalve (TM) contact info:
This is what we have, a rear set only, and they've been nothing short of wonderful. We have Borg because they're what I found first. I went to a commercial truck shop and they recommended Six Robblees and 6R carried the Borg (Duallyvalve) product. Kit was four Valves, two rubber Supports for the inner valves, LocTite and Install Instructions. At the time 6R's price was about half of retail.
Had my valves installed by the auto hobby shop at the local Navy base. It was an adventure. They'd do the tire work but not on the RV, so I put the coach up on stands, pulled all the wheels, and carted them to base in our van. I think the price worked out to $14 per wheel.
Later, I was doing brake work and found it was time for tires. Since I had all four rears off, I pulled the fronts and carted them to Discount (America's) Tire. They were willing to work the RV, I just chose to bring them the wheels so I could stay busy on the brakes.
In the process I bent one of the long inner valves. I'd never called Borg but searched out a phone number, called and told him what happened. He expressed a replacement valve cross country and I had it the next afternoon.
Great product, great service.
I went into this detail because I don't want you thinking Borg pays me or I'm anti-anybody-else. Just my very favorable experience.
