Valve stem extenders and wheel balance

Everything has been said in the first three posts.
On the last post, I've had a situation where I needed to use an inside dual on the front, due to an unexpected blow out of an unused tire on the steer axis, and the spare was unavailable that day.
So even though as a rule, I do not routinely rotate drive tire pairs with the steer axle, on this day, for this incident, I needed to mount that inside dual on the front steer axle to make it home.
While I have often wanted those longer solid metal valve stems on the inside rears, I was very thankful that all of the (semi) permanently attached valve stems were the same type and length, which permitted the interchangeability of tires and wheels in all 7 positions.
