Tire Man Valve Extenders for dual tires

If you will look closely you will see that it is indeed mounted on a wheel.

I have had the Tire Man extenders on our class c since 2014 and they work fine. I took a 2500 mile trip no problem. Just installed the TireMinder TM66 on the extenders because of the good price Camping World had on the TM66. It was nice to screw the transmitters onto the extenders and they did not even wiggle a bit.

Oh in that case here is a picture of your wheel with the Tire Man Valve Stems

I dremelled my notches. Easy Peasy.

I had to notch just a little. Eight-Round-Hole Simulators, BORG Dually Valves. Easy enough. But I'd suggest you cut or grind your notches. I did that on one side after I thought I could dimple the stainless steel a little to gain the clearance and it cracked. I'd rather have a ground-out spot (Dremel Tool) than a crack. Still, the tiny crack has not spread.

How were the wheels balanced by the tire installers with the long tire stems in the rims? Did they present any problems?

Mine balanced out just fine,no problems at all,they aren't that heavy.
Much lighter than the extenders that some use.

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

Thanks Bobbo for the info. I am going out to make the notches now.

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.
