  1. Hi, I have replaced my old tires with Hankook RA08 tires. I had the original(?) metal braided extenders for all four rear tires but two of them were leaking so were not put back on when the new tires were installed. I now notice that one of the rear inside dualies is leaking and I think it's the extender. But, it could be the tire since this has happened before on this tire. So, I am first going to go back to Discount Tire and have them recheck the tire. It's the only one not holding air and they will need to replace it if there's a problem with the tire (I purchased the extended warranty and got all 6 tires plus warranty for about $850). Which leads to the reason for my post. I have been doing a lot of googling and have read that the braided extenders and extension that are attached to the valve stem can be prone to leak. Then I read that some folks had them for years and they worked fine if installed correctly. http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/27385710/srt/pa/pging/1/page/2.cfm On another forum there was discussion of Borg and Tire Man valve stem extenders that they really liked and I've read that on another forum as well - about the Tire Man https://forums.goodsamclub.com/Index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/24520246/print/true.cfm http://yourtireshopsupply.com/product/274/dl1e-brass-dually-valve-dl1e http://www.ridgecrest.ca.us/~tire-man/kit1.html Also these duallyvalves were recommended: duallyvalve.com 800 300 2674 http://www.alcoa.com/alcoawheels/north_america/en/info_page/accessories_hd_valve_stems.asp and more conversation here: http://www.irv2.com/forums/f258/the-valve-stem-extenders-208252.html All I know is that I have 185R14LT tires and that my extenders are at their end of life (if they're original than that's about 20 years?) If I go with valve stem extenders what size and type? Chrome? 7"? If I get braided extenders again where do I get these? Some have referred to getting them at NAPA? http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/CatalogItemDetail.aspx/Tire-Valve-Stem-Extensions/_/R-NTH90329_0344222260 What are folks here using to fill their inner dually at regular gas stations? I don't want to have to visit a truck stop or be home to use my compressor and dual sided chuck. Thanks for any suggestions / advice in advance.
