Going to get new tires put on next week and right now there is nothing but the rubber valve stems on all 6 rims. Was looking on line and have been reading reviews etc on the Valve Extenders from plai...

Thanks for the info on which ones you got.
I stopped in at a tire shop here, Name Brand here on the west Coast. (we'll leave the name out ) and he had both good ideas and well bad.
They work on alot of big MH's and Trucks as well.
First the good, he said to get the wheel covers I want , then get the valve stems I need to work with what I got. Made since, so I ordered up the wheel covers and they will be here Friday so over the weekend I'll see how they fit and get a better idea of which ones I need. He thought I could get away with just standard steel valve stems and put on metal straight airless type valve extenders 2-3 inch for the inside dually and nothing for the outside tire other than just the standard steel valve stem .
We were all out by the MH talking and laughing and he was full of info.
He goes into telling us how the tire shops hate the bolt on wheel covers because they are such a pain and how the pop on ones are so much better and easier. That the ones that complain about them are the ones that don't know how to put them on.. Huh Yeah whatever meanwhile there's a guy in one of the bays pounding on you guessed it a wheel cover , so I came back with "like that guy"
Now the bad;
He noticed that one rear tire was weather cracked pretty good and through me a price on a new one without me asking. I told him I had called them last week and got a quote on a new set of tires and that America's Tire blew them out of the water.
He turned red , said have a nice day and did a 180 and walked away.
It kinda made me mad but then again it was kinda funny too. My future SIL was with me and looked at me and said WTF ?? lol
I was there to buy valve stems if they had them, so it wasn't like I was just trying to get free info/advise..
So thanks for the input , I most likely will order up the same set-up you have unless of coarse the wheel covers I can get has a straight shot at the valve stems ?
