New Valves
[ Back to Index ]
Valves help to maintain tyre pressure, vehicle safety and tyre life.
The valve in your wheel and tyre assembly is a small but very
important part of your vehicle. It holds the pressure inside the tyre assembly and
is the access point for regulating your tyre pressure. A valve cap in good condition
is also essential as it provides the primary seal and prevents dirt from getting inside.
Rubber valves deteriorate with age and use. During use the valve may become
damaged or worn but will inevitably deteriorate through ageing and the force it is subjected
to while driving. They are relatively inexpensive yet vital to the performance of tyres.
It's therefore recommended by manufacturers to replace valves every time your tyres are changed.
The first sign that your wheels may be out of balance is when your steering
wheel starts to wobble above a certain speed. The light weight of modern cars means that
they don't dampen down the vibrations caused by spinning wheels in the way that older,
heavier vehicles could.
