Valve Extenders And Rotating Tires

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 plain rubber ones to Stainless Steel Braided ones to the Solid Valve stems like these

So if you get the solid ones , just how does a Tire Rotation come into play ? Break tire down remove solid valve stems to other rims ? Switch tires on rims ?

Have heard more negative on the rubber/braided extenders that just screw onto the steel valve stems ones verses the solid ones ?

  • don't know about rotating but i would never have the extenders again for any price. always had to inflate tires because of leaks from them junkie things. i went with dually valves several years ago and no longer have that problem, love them.
  • I don't know, but I'm replying to subscribe. I don't have extenders or extended valve stems on my dualies and it's a pain in the butt. I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the options (braided, solid, 90 degree, 45 degree, all different lengths, etc.).
