Valve Stems

[JackZilla]

Looking like it might be time to get some new ones. After this past camping trip with Kyle, we stopped in Burnett to air up. I put 40psi in each tire. I checked them today and they were all below 25psi. I know the cooler temp accounts for some of that but not 15psi. I have noticed some cracking on the valve stems which is why I've jumped to this conclusion.

What kind of valve stems does everyone use? I prefer the cheap rubber ones because I feel like they flex a bit more if they are spun against a rock or something. Any suggestions?

Yea I right there with you one of mne is so cracked and loose/flemsy it feels like it could just fall out.

So I have one metal one and I will say it airs down very fast. But I feel yah with the rocks thing, gets me thinking though that they are not all created egual. Some research may be in the workings. Aftermarket rubber ones that are tough and less restrictive. They have got to be out there...

Gonna take it up to Lyndsay's shop Saturday and put new valve stems and balance them. It'll be like driving a brand new truck.
