I'm just about to have a new set of tyres fitted. Metal valves were fitted when I changed to alloys 5 yrs ago but have not been touched since through a couple of tyre changes. I know rubber valves must be changed with tyres but what about metal valves? Can I get away with just changing the cores or should I get new valves - I'll have to order them from Tyresave as very few tyre places sell them. Or do you think I should leave well alone (it ain't broke don't fix it). Never had any problems and I've got TPMS for peace of mind.

Been motorhoming for 15yrs.had an American RV for 7yrs,Now got a Niesmann Bischoff Arto 88F
My advice to you Terry is change them.They have a rubber ORing which makes the seal between valve and wheel and with time that does deteriorate .for the price of a valve it's not worth it.what price on peace of mind.:xsmile:
