New Tyres - Valve stems too long?
Posted: Tue Jun 07, 2016 2:06 pm
Hi,
The dealer fitted new tyres to my car before delivery. I just noticed that the valve stems they have fitted appear unusually long, they are about 2 inches, and stick out past the outer rim by around 1/2 inch.
This is annoying me, because it looks a bit weird, (now that I can see them flapping about in the rear view mirrors), but I'm also a bit worried that they are a bit vulnerable to being damaged on a curb poking out like this.
Does anyone else think it's a problem, or am I being super pedantic? All four are like this.
cheers,
