Rubber or Metal Stems for New GY Endurance

I should have mentioned that I now have 20,000+ miles using the Ford metal stems I provided the link for with no leaks. Their quality far exceeds rubber or other metal valve stems. At $2.70 each, there is no reason not to install them.

To put it in perspective, there is a reason why they are used on dualies or with Alcoa wheels by Ford. They are better than rubber or other metal because they seat metal to metal when installed and the grommet seal is thereby compressed to a controlled dimension. The stem cannot rock like every other valve stem can.

After an appropriate TV, TPMS on the trailer wheels is the next best way to make trailering stress free. Otherwise you just keep replaying all the China bomb posts from this forum in your mind as the DW expects you to be listening to her as you are driving. [emoji2]
