Review on Dorman 609-131 TPMS Aluminum Sealing Valve Cap - Premium Pack of 50 by Chris Ostby

Revainrating 2 out of 5

They can fuse to the valve stem

Be very careful with this. After I fitted them to my car, three of the four fused to the valve stem. When I took the stem with pliers and used enough force with another pair of pliers to remove the cap, it actually ripped in half leaving the bottom portion fused to the stem. The rest were positioned so that the pressure gauge and inflators were no longer on top of the valve. Good that my tires were worn out. I suppose it would be fine if you lube the threads, but who wants that? I went back to black plastic.

Pros
  • Stem Caps
Cons
  • So-so
