Question
Why do some TPMS sensors have metal valve stems instead of rubber?
Answer
Metal stems are more durable for heavy-duty vehicles (trucks, RVs).
Explain
Rubber stems crack under heavy loads; metal stems (brass/stainless steel) resist damage. CHEPQ offers both types—rubber for passenger cars, metal for HD vehicles.
