    Extreme flat valves

    Has anyone seen these from Scorpion-Racing. They retail in UK for about 15 quid for 5 (AU$37) but I like the fact the seal completely and are relatively tight on the rim.

    great stuff. But you'd have to put that valve stem in a safe secure place, cause if ya can't find it when needed, you'll be in the poo

    Yes, it wouldnt pay to loose it.

    There's also an article in May's LRE mag about them.

    ive seen em and they dont belong on a 4x4,,,

    wait until after you do your first fording with the tyres aired down and the mud seeps in...

    then you cant screw in the valve extention....

    OK, so my assumption that the screw down cover seals is misplaced

    This would mean they could also be problematic with bull dust.

    The tyres themselves will still leak, needing periodic pressure checks.

    Point is moot anyway. They wouldn't fit a standard Disco 2a Alloy as the valve is recessed on the outside of the rim. Makes you wonder what rims they're meant for. S-R being LR specialists
