Issues with checking tire pressure.
I changed my tires yesterday to NT-01. When I tried to check my tire pressure this morning, my tire gauge was having trouble pushing down the valve pin. It turns out the tire shop used a bad valve stem core.
Solution: Went to Kragen and pick up a set of valve stem and take the valve stem core out as donor.
Check these pictures out.
bad valve stem core sits lower
bronze one is the bad one.
Silver one is the replacement stem I picked up at Kragen.
They "look" about the same, but the new one sits much closer to the surface.
