My valve stem caps look different than others I have seen. Would y'all please look at these two pictures and tell me what this is on my tires?
Thank you,
Trent
Possibly pressure indicating. Change color (to red) when pressure falls below some value.
I had similar to those when I used EQUAL to balance the tires. They had a screen in the stem to keep the EQUAL from clogging the schrader valve.

Yes, different. Ours have a silver "ball" that closes off the opening. Can you add air through the cap?
Looking closer - agree with Tom - looks like "110" embossed on cap, indicating what pressure is desired? Can't see, however, what would allow the color to change...
Check out [url=http://www.RWC.com. ( real wheels corp.) pretty nifty! Have been thinking about getting those.
The link was not quite right. It went to Reliable Worldwide Corporation, which among other things make Sharkbite fittings.
The link to Real Wheels Corporation is:
RealWheels Truck Parts and Accessories (http://www.realwheels.com/ledairguard.html)
Interesting product!

PS: You don't want to know how many Reliablewc catalogs and downloads I read before googling real wheels. :headwall:
ETA: The video at the link is very interesting! Since mine does not look quite the same, I suspect I have an earlier generation version.
Valve stems make it easier to check and add air to tires. BUT, you cannot use any type of Pressure Pro. I have a few around (somewhere) and will post when I find them; if anyone would like to have them..
Believe I got some in Quartzite.
Trent, least you found them. Sorry bout that!
