Anyone know how do you tell if the valve stems are defective?
The Tire shop has no clue.

Well, if it's not leaking I don't see what the problem is. If you have noticed that you have been filling up your tires way too often.... take some soapy water and pour a little all over the stem. If there are bubbles.... you gotta leak. I dont think there is really no way to "truly" tell if a stem is bad. I'd look for leaks and dry rotting rubber.

If you are worried about it, they cost about 2 bucks apiece, and you can have all four changed out for less than 20 bucks, probably less than ten.
