Where to buy tire valve caps
While driving or during maintenance, the tire valve caps may be lost. In some public parking lots or roadside parking, some people may deliberately unscrew the valve caps out of curiosity, pranks or other reasons.
The loss of the tire valve caps will have little impact in the short term, but it will cause more harm if it is not handled for a long time. Foreign objects can easily enter the tire valve caps, accelerate their aging and damage, and cause slow air leakage. It will also make tire pressure monitoring inaccurate, increase the risk of tire blowout, affect vehicle handling and braking performance, and endanger driving safety.
