Tyre pressure valves

There is no need to cut the rubber.

But it is good practice to change old valves when tyres are worn out

they  are confused I think.

I see you need new valves for the new rims.

Have you had a quote from a main dealer who would heavily discount the valves

not have to get them in special and mark them up by 100%

You don’t need to buy new ones. I have been doing the switch you are going to do and you take the rubber of as usual. Moving the TPMS from the old alloys to the new ones and putting new or the old rubber on the new alloys. Then the work is done…

What they are telling you isn’t true. They simply unscrew and then refitted onto your new alloys.

@nathan wilson – Any answer Nathan?

@jonyboy

Are you saying that the valve and sensor are separate or can be separated?? Reason I ask is I have a slow leak on my nearside front tyre, I’ve had new tyres fitted and the leak was there on old and new tyre so I’m assuming it can only be the valve. I was going to order a new TPMS but if the valve can be changed separate then that’s what I’ll do??
