My hubby Ed is normally a calm, easy-going guy. Checking the tire pressure turned him into a raving, crazed man.... LOL!
I ordered the solid metal (brass?) valve stems from Borg - which made checking SOOOOO much easier because they are rigid. They also don't leak air, so you're less likely to need to add air in the first place. Yes, you will have to have a tire place install the solid stems.
Then Ed realized that having stainless wheel LINERS ("innies") as opposed to our wheel covers ("Outies") would make a big difference, too. With both additions, checking the air is a 2-minute job; and adding air only needed to be done about once a year, in our case.
