Review on πŸ’ Enhance Tire Maintenance with Monkey Grip Victor M8840 1 1/4" Metal Valve Extension by Trae Joubert

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Have a fat tire day with no disappointments!

Driving a car from a fleet, we were told to keep the pressure in cold tires at 40psi, regardless of the pressure on the label on the driver's door jamb. This provides better fuel economy through a smoother ride without sacrificing tread wear. I did the same to my car and yes, the fuel economy was consistently slightly better than the EPA ratings. Over time, you get used to the handling and begin to appreciate the improved driving experience through the steering wheel. Do this every week and your fatter tires could mean a fatter wallet. That's easier said than done when your tire's valve stems are so short and bulging that you're scratching your knuckles on the cap trying to unscrew and reinstall the valve cap. Inflator hose as used on our 2004 Honda Civic. These extensions, which are screwed on and then removed when not needed, come to the rescue. Pumping up tires on any fat tire day (Saturday morning) is now a pleasure, not a pain.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
