Check your tubeless tyre valves. Isuzu etc.

[Yale]

Had a soft tyre on the pick up a few days ago and spotted the valves have perished badly at 5 years old.

Might be worth a quick visual inspection of your own.

All four.

Is the corrosion from the alloy that causing it

Not sure,just perished and only really visible if you bend the stalk.

Worse when you are driving down the road and they snap off

Local vets are chopping in 3 Isuzu pickups at 3 years old. All three have suffered from wheel studs coming loose and wheels parting company with the hub after tyre changes. The studs have to be carefully torqued and lots of tyre places don’t know the right setting.

Why don't they just torque them up right?

No that’s ridiculous the obvious thing is to change brands because the local tyre fitting company didn’t give it enough ugga duggas with a underpowered impact gun

i think he said the problem was over torqued not under.

Gave them a shot of penicillin and said they'd check back in a few days.

Mid summer and tack everywhere, I left my Big tractor in the field oposite with some coos and calves. Following day the little beggars had been suckling on the valves, slobber everywhere, the one rear valve (obviously slightly perished) had been chewed right off!
left me feeling very deflated.

This is why you should have new valves every time you have new tyres.

Is that a big crack in the alloy wheel, seen in the last picture? If so, that’s as dodgy as the valves.

Meanwhile the invoice will arrive tomorrow.

Got caught with a bike wheel and tyre after I had swapped the tyre and fitted a new one and then had issues keepin the air in... A new valve sorted it. I now have a couple kepr in a cool dark environment!

A bit like a Mars bars bu a longer shelflife...

No cracks.

The tyres are the original mud terrain type which were fitted from new and are about half worn.

Doesn’t do a huge mileage and even fewer this last 18 months.

Vehicle has been to the tyre shop this morning and had all new valves fitted.

 

[Lincsman]

Shouldnt they be pressure sensing at that age of build? they look like normal ones to me.

 

[Yale]

I was wondering if the condition of the valve stem is part of the MOT.

Was only done on September so would have been visible then.

Dont think so, they only look, not poke about.

your right.we're only allowed to look,
If we touch something and it breaks its down to us to put right,like the old diesel smoke tests,if the engine went pop it is down to the garage to put right (they hush it up now but still true)

 

[ORRA LOON]

Your lucky the tyres have lasted 5 years too, a lot of tyres are badly perished at 3/4 yrs old .
