Tire Air Valve stem snapped!

zryder · 05-07-2014, 08:26 PM

Ok. So I am going through a car wash like an idiot and I Must have gotten to close to the tire valve and they both snapped off! Causing my left side tires to obviously go flat. Does anyone have any idea how much this will cost? The actual tire is fine, its just the valve stem that snapped causing the air to release.

Please let me know! Thanks

It should be pretty inexpensive -- a quick google search shows they are not pricey. Basically, it should only be a few bucks more than a mount and balance.

I can't really tell from the pictures but the valve stem is also the TPMS so that will not be cheap to have them replaced and programmed. Most tire dealers like Discount Tire should be able to do this so yoiu probably don't have to go to a Ni$$an dealer.

The valve stems only cost a few dollars each. But to dismount and remount and balance the tires could cost you $25 per tire. The TPMS sensors should be fine and shouldn't need to be reprogrammed.

make sure the tire place has touchless tire mounters... otherwise get mount marks on your wheels...
