Metal valve stems
I have a question and will explain why.
How many of you replace the rubber valve stems in the trailer wheels with metal.
I blew out 2 tires on my truck rear wheels when traveling in 100 degree temps. while traveling with camper on the truck. The rubber stems ripped apart where seated in the wheel. The tire dealer said not to use rubber valves on 10 ply tires. That was in 2006. The trailer has 8ply tires with rubber stems. I just spend $35. to have them changed to metal to avoid any stem issuses.
