Tire valve Stems

Time for new tires. Getting quotes on 6 new tires.
My question is it necessary to get new valve stems every time you get new tires. They put $85.00 for 6 tires on the quote. The last time I purchased tires I believe they used the old ones. The size of tires are 275/70R 22.5.

  • I had mine replaced with the second set of tires, just because....be proactive. After 14 years on the coach, I figured it was time.....Dennis
  • All the truck tire shop did on my last big truck was replace the rubber gaskets used on the metal stems, not replacing the complete stem. That seems to me not a needed thing to do, but don't know for sure. I would ask why and maybe even ask other truck tire shops the reason for replacement.
