Tireman vs CW (Borg)

[tarnold]

Lots of rave for tireman DULLAY valve extenders, 6 for $135 + shipping. CW has ( rear only) BORG $45. Really, how much difference, both seem to be similar shape and material, same installation. Anybody go with the CW product? Yes I appreciate quality, but that's a lot of $ difference.

Ordered a set of tireman stems for mine. absolutely impossible to check rear tires the way they were with the little rubber stems. As mentioned above, now it's a breeze. Got even lazier and installed a set of tire pressure monitors. Now all I have to do is check them for accuracy once in a while. Takes 30 sec to cycle through all the tires and I can do it sitting on my butt. Glad I did this mod. too bad they can't get my front hub cap back on.

On my first MH I hated the cheap looking clip/pound on hub caps , so I removed each front wheel , sanded them down abit, rattle can primered them then rattle can painted them .
They actually turned decent.
Left the rears on just took a little longer and did the same to the outer wheels.
I just taped off the tires,wheel well and side area of MH when I painted the rears.

I had custom long solid metal stems installed on the front tires also. No need to stand on your head and fiddle with checking pressure and not letting air out. Over time, you won't regret spending a few extra bucks on your $50K+ rig.

Installed the TireMan ones on last MH , this time around saw the Borg on a end isle discontinue display at CW for something like $46.00 ?

Not sure if CW is going to continue selling them ? Was just in there about a week ago and the tire accessory isle only had the braided screw on extenders and a couple straight screw on extenders didn't see any of the Borg ones or any other ones like it ?

The Tireman ones comes with the pass through valve stem caps were as the Borg just comes with the typical screw on caps

And yes the Borg ones are made in china...

If you want cheap Chinese product go with Borg,If you want quality from the original designer go with Tire Man.

The choice is yours.

No difference. BORG was the first set I found and I bought it. Been in use for years. Now on the second set of tires. Zero problems. I damaged one and Borg provided a no-cost replacement.

Now that CW sells BORG, at a great price, no reason to go anywhere else. Only the rears NEED to be custom. Ordinary metal truck-style valves work great for Fronts and Spare. I bought V2B "Gator Caps" for all wheels and a pair of air bags I have inside the front springs on our E450.

I've said I can check all the tires in minutes. The other day, I timed it. Standing by passenger side rear duals holding my air gauge. Put my phone on stopwatch. Stuck it in my pocket and very purposefully started checking tires. On each, I applied the gauge, read the pressure, realized the tire(s) did NOT need air. Right rear, around to Left Rear, then Left Front, then Two Air Bag Valves in the Grille, then Right Front. Pulled phone out of pocket and hit Stop. Fifty Eight Seconds for EIGHT pressure checks and I'm not an athlete.

I used to HATE that job. Try to hold the Valve, sometimes take the simulator off, always needed to add air. Now I just get to confirm that everything's OK.
