Valve Stem Issue.....

So I'm upgrading to G rated tires and I ordered metal valve stems rated at 110psi. The problem is the rubber on the back of the stem wont go thru the valve hole on the wheel...

I also have rubber valves with metal sleeve rated at 80psi that fits... The E rated tires that came on my 5er were rated at 80psi so I'm thinking my G rated tires at 80psi will be much better than the E rated at 80psi. I'm not really wanting to go even 100psi on these stems rated at 80psi. What do you think....

I do have some other metal stems on the way today but they will probably be the same rubber. They make a 100psi rubber stem but once again the base is too wide. I did check my wheels and they are rated at 110psi.

OP stated his rims are 110 PSI rating.

OK..if true

BUT why upgrade tire to G614 110 PSI 3750# and only run them at 80# because of wrong valve stem.

GO to a tire shop and get 110 psi valve stems that properly fit your rims.
