Hey guys/girls,

I got my stock tires swapped out for all seasons for the colder months earlier today & just noticed that all my valve caps are missing . I can't remember if they are metal or plastic caps. I'm going to make the mechanics order me the part if they lost them. So, if anyone knows the part # (if there is one) for the valve cap & can tell me if they are metal or plastic, that would be great. I had a bad experience w/my previous mechanics today & am pissed since I've spent a few thousand over the years w/them

I should be okay w/o the caps on till monday morning, right (i.e. no flat w/a little driving)?

Thanks

 

they're just plastic, like the color of the tpms, you should have them order you the super bling chrome ones lol. . . .

 

1 mean ****

 

Hold on a second.... Do you think the valve caps stop your tyres going flat?

 

^no, not entirely. I know that they'll let a bit of air seep out over time, I just don't know how much.

 

This is mainly based on principle w/them... they just pissed me off yesterday, after being a loyal customer for several years. i.e. it's not entirely about the valve caps, it's about several other things... I'm just annoyed & want what my car came with & how I dropped it off as.

 

ummm i dont think you need valve caps....

but i dunno much about that. one of my tires is missing a valve cap and its still holding 34 psi since last month

 

Id be upset too! No air will leak and you can just buy some at autozone if you dont want to go through the hassel of waiting on them. Chromes would look nice and shouldnt cost that much. Thinking of replacing mine with the chrome.
