RE: [A/S] Metal Valve Stems
Hunter,
I second that motion. It was a rubber valve stem that failed on our Bambi
last Oct, but that fact that A/S choose (and is still doing it) to put 65psi
rated rubber valve stems on tires that both A/S and the manufacturer
(Goodyear) state need to aired to 65psi to handle the per tire loading (if
you want a margin for error), contributed to the failure. I had 150PSI
rated, metal stems installed on the A/S and feel a lot safer.
