Good morning to all.
After chasing a leaking tire on an Alcoa rim and finally just dropping it in the pool I found it to be a very very slow leak from around the metal valve stem. Tried tightening but no good. I understand the seal and stem are one piece anyone know the part and, who might have it, I should order for an Alcoa rim so I can be sure of getting it replaced when I take it to the tire store.
Thanks

Good morning to all.
After chasing a leaking tire on an Alcoa rim and finally just dropping it in
the pool I found it to be a very very slow leak from around the metal
valve stem. Tried tightening but no good. I understand the seal and stem are
one piece anyone know the part and, who might have it, I should order for
an Alcoa rim so I can be sure of getting it replaced when I take it to the
tire store.

I asked my local long time family run tire store if they could get them. They stated they didn't need to get them. Whatever I needed they had. They did for both the Alcoas and the Sidekick. (For some reason the PO had removed the hard stems and installed rubber. The Sidekick needed hard stems for the tire pressure monitors.)
