Question
Why do some TPMS sensors have a metal collar on the valve stem?
Answer
To reinforce the stem against bending (common in heavy-duty vehicles).
Explain
Metal collars distribute stress from tire mounting tools, preventing stem breakage. CHEPQ HD sensors use stainless steel collars for maximum durability.
