Used these to check the tires myself without trying to put my hand in between the tires and trying to install an air chuck. I enjoyed driving my twins at 40psi when not driving and 50 when I hooked up my 19klb toy dump truck. If the tires are ventilated, the ride will be much smoother. I need them ventilated for towing so the tires don't rub. It became easier to change the air as needed. Never had any problems with leaks or loss of pressure. Has worked very well for me. Well constructed. Note. They should only be used on metal valve stems. My new truck has rubber valve stems due to the TPMS sensors and I returned them because they wouldn't work.
