You have to be careful when either letting a tire shop replace your
valve stems or buying them yourself. There is a big difference in
quality today with many of them made in china. I had a bad one and it
turned out it was a chinese stem and had a cheap rubber grommet. Got
all new ones from Prier tire http://www.priertiresupply.com/ very
nice chrome plated ones for aluminum truck wheels $3.29 each (TR
509S) about $3.00 cheaper then chinese ones locally. I bought enough
for all my tires and a few spares to carry with me. They come with
valve cores and a nice chrome plated steel cap with oring.
