On my other car, Nissan X-Trail (I'm very proud of it), I started to loose air pressure, at just parking, about 10 psi in 2 weeks, where valves are dated back to 2008. So the solution was, to replace all the 4 valves, with new rubber type ones, just for 50 Dhs. It's a precaution solution, instead of sitting somewhere on Emirates road in the middle of 4th lane with empty tyres...

Replaced mine yesterday night for 10 dirhams a piece. My other car 'a 94 corolla manual with a 2 litre engine, coilover suspension all corners' must be sitting flat in the Police pound. Been over three months now

Chief, Abu Jimmy, AlKhatib, Strawb, and everybody I am going for the GTWheels 16x8 very soon. But with the current Bridgestone 2012 wrangler stock tires i bought from BettyPo (thanx Nancy)
Please I need your opinion / advise please on:
1- best place to buy in sharjah (within a budget).
2- do they come with metal valves?
3- are the chinese metal stems like the ones ordered by Desert lizard?
4- do these rims bounce?
I will upgrade to BFGoodrich tyres in a couple of months.
Thank you so much everybody
