View Full Version : metal valve caps

For the last few weeks, I have replaced my ordinary bog standard plastic valve caps with all singing, all dancing, shiny smart silver valve caps. They seized up solid on the valve, nothing would shift them. It cost £40 to change all the valves, re-balance the wheels etc. "They always seize up" said the tyre fitter, "you can't shift 'em".
Be warned!!!

Eeek that sounds like an expensive mistake thanks for the warning maybe a smear of oil on the threads would have helped. I will need new front tyres soon or do I swap the fronts to the rear to save getting new tryes for a while.

All depends whether you want to buy 4 at a time or only two!

If you buy tyres at Costco they will only fit new on the front(?)or is it back? Anyway they change the tyres round at no charge.
