INSPECT your tire valve if rubber stem version - don't let it cause an accident

Just head up for you guys.
Your car can be as old as 2009..............

Here is spare tire valve rot : https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...years-old.html

I am no more on rubber valve stem, but I bought 4 spare wheels recently and the age of the wheel is year 2020 production date and the rubber stem tire valve is surely 2020 as being oldest too.

Here is their condition :

Wheel 1 of 4

.

Wheel 2 of 2, same condition.

This is the brand. I don't know what brand

TR413 is sizing.
A TR413 tire valve is a tubeless rubber snap-in valve stem that's commonly used on cars, light trucks, and light-duty trailers. It has a 1 1/4 in effective length and fits rim holes with a diameter of .453 in.

Wheel 3 of 4

Wheel 4 of 4

Now, go and inspect your rubber stem tire valve.

Good advice! I learned the hard way after buying a set of new OEM TPMS sensors off Amazon for my truck. 2 of 4 leaked badly from numerous tiny cracks in the valve stems which was unfortunately discovered soon after being mounted.
