On another note i will never use rubber stems . have had and seen to many flats because of bad stems

My truck has rubber stems and my trailer has metal stems. I have never had a problem with either one. I have TST 507

That white spot on my rim (in the pics) is what rubber stems did to my sensors... They allowed the sensor / stem to flex from the centrifugal forces and made contact.
