Adding/deleting air with bead lock capable wheels

[Dry0atmeal]

Good afternoon Rangerheads...Today I had to add air to my tires due to the sub-zero conditions here in Michigan...I noticed with a monster PITA adding air( my normal air chuck wouldn't fit) I had to use my vivair compressor...any tips or suggestions to get around this? TIA

Buy some valve stem extensions. I went with Milton 3/4” brass. Have had no problems, but one poster had a bad valve on one of his, so look them over before installing.

I agree it’s a pain getting air in. I bought the Milton extensions and thought they were no good. The spring inside is very weak(at least in mine). Then I bought these. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C36HSZCG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

i’ve had them on for about six months and no problem. Someone else said they had a problem with caps they provided but I used different ones that had already

I purchased a set of these, but none of my pressure gauges work on them. Anyone else having the same issue?

I hadn't thought about this as I really haven't had to add or air down yet. So they are purposely recessed to keep from getting trail damaged I assume. Anyone found a airchuck that works without putting extenders on the OEM setup? i'd much prefer to keep them protected and find an alternative way to air down and back up again without extended the valve stems themselves.

i have my 2025 RR on order with the Bead lock capable wheels. This will be the 1st set of wheels like these that I have owned, can the oem beadlock covers be removed to paint or powder coat without losing air pressure? I realize the real beadlocks pinch the tire to the wheel
