Valve stem extenders for inner wheels (DRW)

Can anyone recommend a good product for a dually inner wheel valve stem extender? What are the downsides of using any of these, if any? Thanks!
  • The valve stem extenders that came on my motorhome leaked and the inner tires went flat on me. I took the extenders off and put a TPMS system on. No more flat tires since doing that 6 years ago.
  • Best to just have Borg solid valve stems installed. Extenders leak.

    I don't use extenders,,Valve cores come in many sizes, have your tire dealer install one that will extend far enough to air the tire .
  • I’ve never owned a dually personally. However, I have been responsible for a number of them on fire engines and ambulances. They are very prone to leaking, and we have some quality ones. My recommendation would be a good air chuck with a flexible hose and angled valve stem turned to be able to connect it. I’m sure others will have their opinions, but that’s mine based on experience. Good luck!
