QUOTE(westlife @ Feb 25 2023, 09:37 AM) so these tubeless valves are components that do not come along with new tyres? so everytime u change tyres, the shop will just use back the existing tubeless valves? andthe tubeless valves may potentially turn bad over time and cause leaking of air? i do not understand this part. did u replace the rubber one or steel one? how much does it cost normally? I usually nego with them to throw in these rubber valves for free. I nego on the tyre price first, including balancing (and alignment if you need one), then ask them to throw in these rubber valves FOC. I walk away if they don't agree. Steel ones do have rubber seals inside too. I have had leaking steel valves too, probably because the ex-owner used them for a long time. In addition, steel valves need to be capped with steel caps to look nice, and we all know steel caps attract thieves. So I go for rubber valves now. |

QUOTE(westlife @ Feb 25 2023, 12:20 PM) icic. ok thanks a lot for the clarification. i was really puzzled about what are tubeless valves before this. in the past, everytime i change new tyres, the shop also asked me if i want to change. i never opt to change. so this round i opted for rm6 rubber one each. quite ok also la. since long time never change.  Yeah, peace of mind is priceless. They can probably last for at least 2 sets of tyre changes, but not worth the savings if they leak. |

QUOTE(westlife @ Feb 25 2023, 01:59 PM) true. since the rubber one is rm6 each while steel one is rm12 each. if change rubber now can change again during the next tyre change. total cost also same but can change twice.  But some rims really look better with steel valves... I'd probably go for steel valves just for the aesthetics if I was 20 years younger, where looks matters more than practicality or cost  |

QUOTE(westlife @ Feb 25 2023, 02:06 PM) true. indeed. steel will look nicer. ya. my car is also super old car now. dun bother any more on its look. importantly the practicality and CP value now. besides, did u fix dented rim before? i was quoted rm90 to fix one but i reduced to rm80. seems like still expensive rite? i dun intend to change rim since it is a old car. if can fix i will continue to fix it. Never dented any rims to the point of having to fix them, so can't comment on the price. |
