Hey there all. Went out today and found the rubber valve stems have dry rotted on two tires that have been sitting up on my E350 7.3 n/a van. Occasionally I have aired them up as needed while parked, now weather changed and tires swelled? FRONT tire have all metal valve stems and a nut, REAR have rubber stems. All metal valve stems on front havent ever caused me issues but the rubber on rear replaced twice in 6 years. Tires rated for 80psi cold. They are Cooper LT 245/75R16.
Question? In your experience,what makes this occur? Does the metal valve stem vs. the rubber make a difference for you, in longevity?
