I bought some alloy knockoffs from a fellow lister for my B to replace
my worn out wire wheels.
Today I had tires installed on them. When I got home I was cleaning
them and discovered that if I push the stems over to one side that they
leak air. I have to push them over quite a ways to make that happen.
I don't think that should happen. I think I have stems that don't fit
right or are worn out/rotten. (If they are worn out I expected the
tired place to replace them with new ones.)
Am I off base here? Is it normal for them to leak a little when pushed
all the way over? Do they "set in" over a few days?
I am planning on going back on Monday to have the stems fixed. Just
want to confirm that they should not do this.
(The wheels aren't on my MG yet, the hubs aren't here yet, but the
wheels/tires look good now.)
Thanks!
