Angled Valve Stems - How Tight?
#1
Guys,

I had my tires replaced at the dealer today. That experience has been a total disaster, took them 3 tries to get it right (not kidding), kept screwing up the direction of rotation. Apparently a junior apprentice was doing the work. Unfortunately my pristine rims are now quite scratched up. I'll see what the dealer says about this on Monday, but I'm guessing they can't do much without making the scratches worse.

Thanks for letting me vent.

I had them install angled valve stems while they had the tires off. How tight are these supposed to be? Like, are they supposed to be very tight, not movable (twistable) by hand? Because I can turn mine by hand with some, and not a ton, of force. Not necessarily easily, but not hard either.

Thanks.
