CounteractVCV-12 Vortex Tire/Wheel Valve Stem Core for Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles, ATV, UTV, RV, Dirt Bikes, TPMS Compatible, High Temp Air Tight Seal, Vortex Tip Design, 12pk

You need these with balancing beads

Works much better than the small 4-way core tools because tou have leverage to hold the core down until you release it vs. it shooting out from the air pressure.

Didn’t work

Just got new tires mounted on my 2019 Ford Explorer Sport. Telematics indicated that a tire was low. So I went to put some air in and couldn’t get an air chuck on the valve stem. I could see that the center pin was really far out and I couldn’t depress it. So I went and bought a new set of valve stems cores. I pulled this one and was like, wth is this? Anywho, I imagine that the rest of the cores are the same and worked. This one however hit something on the way in (you can see marks on the tip). So I won’t say these are bad but these have the possibility of not being installed properly. I’ve never known a conventional valve stem core to have any issues. So like I said, it’s not inherently bad, it’s just not dummy proof. So does it really have any upside 🤷🏻‍♂️. For what it’s worth, the red tip pops right off and on as well so if you do put it in there wrong, you can certainly just pop off the fancy tip and run it in there like any other run of the mill core.

Received these in the kit with the beads for motorcycle. Leaked air. Terrible quality. No response from company. Had to use regular stem and worry about bead clogs.
