Help. I am trying to get tires mounted. The wheels have 2 valve stem holes. Shop does not know what to do! I tried calling 949 but can't reach them. Please advise!

 

just installed 2 valves. why won't the shop know what to do.

 

Put another valve stem in it or a bleeder valve. The second valve stem can be used for a few things including changing over to nitrogen, or you can use a pressure bleeder valve for maintaining a given pressure on the track.

2 reasons for that:

1. to purge air if you are doing nitrogen.

and most importantly:

2. if you only have 1 valve stem, when you adjust air on track, you need to: add air, take off air hose, check tire pressure. add more, take off hose, check tire pressure. or leave the air hose/pump on. walk away, and forgot about it till later, when you have 80psi, come back and bleed down.

if you have 2 valve stems, you leave the hose/pump on, check tire pressure at the other valve stem. it is a big time saver, especially you have one of those small screw in air pump.

 

its to purge all the air out to switch to nitrogen
I would tell them its to rotate the air

 

Got it thanks. I Learned something today

 

Any issue with weghts that clip on rather than the more unsightly stick on's when balancing?

 

lol, if your shop doesn't know what to do with it, i'd be a little worried about them mounting anything

 

Don't use clip on weights, they could come off. No problem with stick on weights, put them inside.....

 

Clip-ons will scratch up the wheel . If you are worried about the appearance of the stick on weights, paint them.
