valve stem extensions for tire monitors

We are looking at getting the tst507 flow through tire monitors and cannot figure out what valve stem extensions we need for our Class C Ford for the inside dual tire. I know they have to be metal and we don't know if they should be the straight or the flexible. Also do we need extensions for the other tires.
  • The last thing you want to do is put those flexible extenders on your valve stems. They have a tendency to leak and if they get loose from the anchoring point they can flop around and not only do damage to your wheel but suddenly deflate the tire.

    What is needed is a extended valve stem that will let you quickly check your tire pressure. They add no extra weight like the Extenders would and balancing is no problem.

    The best on the market,that are the original,are Tire Man All kits work with after market tire pressure monitoring systems,
    Chuck is the original designer of these an he has been around for years. If you have any questions just give him a call, he is always happy to help.

    The kit looks like This it is for all 6 wheels.
  • If you have a commercial tire business within reasonable distance, I'd take the MH for a drive. It will probably be a lot easier and quicker.
