I have rubber valve stems on my fifth wheel and on my truck both. Do these work with them or should I have them all replaced with steel valve stems?

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

These work perfectly in my 2009 GTI, so they will probably work in your CC. I don't think you can just replace the valve stem; I believe it is a complete assembly.

Mine's a 2008, and the only thing I had to do was line up the valve stem with the right spot on the wheel cover. The covers have fake plastic "lugs." Decent deal for $20. They fight tightly.

Have you tried it on all tires. Just eliminating the possibility of a bad valve stem in one tire. Possibly the internal part of the air nozzle isn't functioning.

Most places you take to install them will have valve stems available on the spot. Just ask when you install them.

It won't work on a 5th wheel unless it has a gooseneck adapter plate. They make these for 5th wheels also.

I don't know how wide your stems are but the glide legs do have an insert and they worked for me. I had a broken wheel that I needed to replace. If that helps.

Air pressure is air pressure, yes, it works on all common valve stems so long as the pressures don't go into the semi-truck or skinny-tire-road bicycle pressures (~100 psi).

Tom, mine are on 1 1/2" short rubber stems and they're fine. I'd imagine with 2" or longer stems they may get woobly.

I put them on a 1500 Silverado, and they really leveled it out pulling a 5th wheel. The truck squatted much more without them than it did with them, pulled the camper 2000miles and ran the speed limit even in heavy crosswinds. You can go to Hellwig's website and see if the application chart says they will fit, but I seem to remember on the installation instructions, they talked about positioning on an F-150.

I take them off, as my bike has rubber valve stems and they would bend. Besides, there is one more place to lerak if you leave them on. They work well, but I definitely woould remove them on a bike...

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

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!!

Hello. Lug nuts & valve stems are not included with the wheel purchase. Unfortunately we do not offer them for sale on Amazon. Thanks, BWT

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.

They work fantastic on the rims for my jeep. Can't offer any advise as to how they work on a riding mower rim as I'm not familiar with the stem size of the riding mower. However, i suggest maybe visually comparing the size to that of the stem on your vehicle. Real sorry I could not help
