Has anyone used these? I’ve see these but only on 37 and up tires. Not really a necessity for my 33s but not using a valve stem removal tool for fast deflate would be nice. I’d be curious if inflation time would be faster with these and air compressor vs. the Schrader valve.

I don’t know anything about powertanks, but I can tell you that my standard Schrader valves can drop 5 PSI/min (slows a little as tire pressure drops) through a standard lock-on chuck with 1/4” npt fittings and 3(8” air line (all 4 tires connected at once). My Viair 400c can only put 1.8PSI/min back in, so I don’t think the valves are the limiting factor in the case of smaller OBA type compressors. Power tanks move a lot more gas, so it probably can speed up that process.
I need to test and see what the Viair can do on one tire at a time.

I don’t think you’ll see much benefit from these unless you’re actually using a power tank for Inflation. My whip setup deflates my 33s in 60seconds through the oem schrader.
 
Been wondering about these for my 35’s. I think I’ll wait till 37’s. I use co2 thru the stock valve and on my truck with 40’s from 18psi to 35psi takes 17min from start of fill to tank and filler stowed.
For deflate a arb deflator that pulls the core but contains it works great for me thus far.
 
Check out the Apex Engineering valves. I can deflate from 40 to 18 in 7-8 seconds. Supposed they fill quicker as well, but I have not done a speed test comparison. Maybe will give that a try next week. ;)

I second this. I eyed these, but didn't pull the trigger this time around.
