Review on πŸ”’ Schrader 20495 TPMS Metal Sealing Valve Cap - Pack of 100: Secure your Tires with Top-Quality Caps by Tim Thuss

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice bright silver caps - light weight with rubber grommet inside

Looks great - just like the picture - similar to OEM. Tight fit. Leather gloves provide a good grip to take off to check tire pressure in winter----I've heard that if they stay on the metal caps for too long they can get stuck due to corrosion. Tire and car dealers are really against metal caps, especially on cars with $$ tire sensors. On one occasion, without my knowledge, the dealer removed the original covers during an inspection and replaced them with plastic ones because of possible corrosion. I noticed too late. Couldn't believe they wouldn't refund the stolen baseball caps. OEM price was $12 for four plain silver caps. They were a gift from a friend when thieves stole the first hats. After that I used plastic caps for a long time as I didn't want to replace them. I haven't had any issues with sticking metal caps, but I do check tire pressure often enough throughout the year (when I see fluctuations on the TPMS gauge) that it shouldn't and shouldn't be a problem. One caveat: depending on where you have to park, thieves love silver hats. It's nice to have a box with you.

Pros
  • Fits me great
Cons
  • No instructions
