Hi,

Anyone got any experience of Alloy Tyre Valves?

Should I fit or not.

Tyre valves made of alloy to match the wheels - usually bolt in and a direct replacement for the standard plastic ones.

I've searched around a little since posting and I'm hearing on some forums that some have a tendancy to leak air.

Anyone had experience?

Oh those!

Yeah they're alright. They won't leak if they are installed right. They need to be torqued with an inch/pounds wrench though to be safe.

Can't just guess at it or .....too tight they'll leak......too loose they'll leak.

I mostly have seen chrome ones but you can get many colors now.

Not sure where sorry.
