I notice that people bought valve stems with this. Does it need them? It is tubeless, right, so the valve should be part of the tire.

If his rim has a valve stem already there is no need to buy new ones not unless they are leaking

The valve stem for a tubeless tire is not part of the tire, it is inserted into a hole in the rim, and pulled through until the first section snaps thru thus seating the stem in the rim. It is a good idea to get a new valve stem when installing a new tire. You would not like to break the seal of your new tire 3 months later because the valve stem went bad.

No the valve stem is not part of the tire. I would recommend replacing the valve stem every time you replace the tire.

There are stems in your rims, but they are probably as old as your tire, if not older and they may be leaking or the rubber may have become brittle. They are so cheap and easy to change while you have the tire off the rim, that you might as well change them to save yourself a headache down the road.

The valve stem is not part of the tire, but you don't have to change the valve if the old one is in good shape.

Valve stems do not come with the tires. Yes, it is a good idea to replace them with new tires, not absolutely necessary but they tend to dry rot over time.

Yes - the kit comes with a shrader valve like you have on your tires. Just add air like you were inflating a tire. Do not over inflate.

Yes , you have to use a tube . Always replace the tube and spoke band when replacing tires.

Yes that is right, tubeless... However make sure your custom rim, is made for tubeless tire...

Hi Edward, I chose to add tubes with the bent stems considering the small 6" rim size in my case. My steel rims are 40+ years old. Tubes are easy to install and inexpensive. If you do not have a good surface at the tire beads, you will likely see problems down the road, and you may not have room for regular pressed in straight stems on small 6" rims. Use lots of sunlight soap and water to install, and take your time. Cheers! Jeff

All valve stem covers are generally the same size unless from a dramtaically larger tire. There is no good reason they wouldn't ft a standard sized tire, as maybe 90% of all tires are. Off topic, WHY are you purchasing such cheap valve stem covers/caps for such a nice vehicle?

My husband said you need a bike pump with a "schraeder valve" not a "presta valve". We got an awesome bike pump for $20 at Walmart. It has both. I have to air my tires up about one a week. The more air the smoother the ride.

Good Morning Steel valve stems are ultimately recommended and I would definitely switch over the next time you have tire work performed. That being you can use the smaller Anti Theft (1 inch) on a rubber valve stem, I would not recommend using the Flow Through (2 1/2 inch) on a rubber stem. I do recommend using rubber valve stem supports on your rubber stems. There are 2 types; one that goes over the rubber stem and clips onto the edge of the rim, the other that adheres to the rim and support the rubber stem from the side. You can do a google search for "rubber valve stem support" or email us off our web site and we will gladly send you some pictures of what to look for. The primary issue with rubber stems is where the rubber stems come through the metal rim. With extra wear and vibration the rim can start to cut into the valve stem. You always want to make sure on your walk around to wiggle the rubber stems and listen for air leakage through any stem, particularly where it comes out the rim. Customer Relations EEZ RV PRODUCTS

It's a tire not a tube. The tube determines the valve type. This will work with any correct size tube

This tire can be used tubeless with the proper wheel and valve stem. I prefer to use a heavy duty self sealing tube. You never know when you'll find a nail, sharp branch or thorn hiding in snow or sand.

No. My friend has one that I have used. As Allan stated, you must push the lever for air to pass. The braided hose is too short. When airing up and the valve stem happens to be nearer to the dirt, you have to bend over until the tire is filled. From 15psi to 40, in the hot desert sun, it can be bleh. If it were longer, I would buy it. I'm looking for a better one.

It depends upon the type of leakage. If you have mild bead leakage or a basic nail or thorn puncture, then it will probably work fine. If you have a chronic leak, old tubeless tires with cracks in the sidewalls or leaking tubes, not likely. Don't forget to make sure (with soapy water) that your valve stem core valve isn't leaking.

No they don't. They are not wheels. They are only tires. The valve stems are a seperate item that in installed on the steel rim.

The stems are included. There are also an extra set of complete stems for future service. I don't know what the "Compression" item you metion is. This unit comes with everything needed to install except the handles. I installed 2 and they work very well. I would bye another .

Utlimatemotorcycling.com has a review that states it can be installed with or without. Mine is installed tubeless. I would call Michelin and ask for more specificity.

I have had no issues with standard/normal valve stems. This covers most of the vehicles I have from a motorcycle to SUV. I have read if you have it slipping off to rotate the orientation of the hose 180. The "grabber/holder" catches the threads for the valve cap so it is possible to catch a top of a thread and have it not stay. No issues for me though!!

Yes it does but the air comes out fairly slow. If you have to let a tire down a lot it is easier to use the nub on the end to push the valve stem. However it works great to get it to the exact pressure.
