Rubber valve
Rubber valve
As the valve with the most common material, the lower cost makes the rubber valve be widely installed on the original rim, and the replacement cost is very low in the future. The price is the cheapest among the three material valves.
However, due to the inevitable aging of the rubber material, the valve body gradually cracks, deforms, and loses its elasticity. When the vehicle is running, the rubber valve will also oscillate back and forth with the centrifugal force, which will further promote the aging of the rubber.
In general, rubber valve life is 3-4 years, which is similar to the service life of the tire. Therefore, it is recommended to replace the rubber valve when replacing the tire.
