How to Deflate your Tyres

Installed these Fast Deflation tire vales - absolutely love it. In Formula Tires got them at 550AED with the installation

Deflating the tire in 15 sec (I normally do 2 meausures to catch the correct pressure, but in any case it takes another 5 sec per tire)

Hi @Davie Chase, are these the ones you have installed? Are they still your favorite deflation method? Are yours the Apex brand and can you recommend the place you had yours installed?

Hi @Looper, are yours the Apex brand? I read your more recent posts after Ilya's post and wonder if you overall still feel these are worth it.

Any other recommendations on this point would be appreciated. 

Thanks

@Emanuel yes still my favorite method although you do have to be careful and make sure they seat correctly. 
I had mine done at Artic trucks and Offroad zone before that, as I have changed them one time and will again before the season gets underway around October time (just my preference to change for new)

Thanks @Davie Chase. Do you have these with tire pressure sensors and a monitoring system?

[Davie Smooth_Operator]

@Emanuel no just the cheaper version no sensors / monitoring

Thanks @Davie Chase. I'll give the stem removal tool a try first. The only con I can think of besides losing a stem or two (I have spares) is that the stem seat might lower over time making inflating problematic.

@Emanuel I can recommend the Apex RCVs:

 

Not as fast as the other Apex valves but does the trick and you don't need to take off the tire to install - just screws onto existing valve. Takes about a minute to deflate from 35psi to 15psi per tire. If you do it the right way (open the valves one after the other) you can be deflated in all 4 tires in under 3 mins . Available on Amazon and install is easy - you can do it yourself

I screw this gauge and then deflate while monitoring the pressure to 10 psi. normally when I stop I am at 11-12 psi after the tire gets back to normal air temp. and it is quick way of accurately deflating, with less chance of over/under deflation. 

Hi @Looper - I found this version of the same tool but with clip-on chuck, which is amazing for ease of use. I use it to check my pressure during the drive when needed.

@Emanuel Try Jaco, I and @Mike M. I saw also using it. amazing tool. it's not for deflation from 40 to 12, for inflation or adjusting very good, not leaking

Thanks @Zubail yes i am using this, which i prefer over the ARB tyre inflator which leaks a lot. The Jaco has a patented deflating tip which does not leak, even when you move the gauge around. I recommend it as well for adjustments. 

For deflating, I have been using the below auto deflators for more than 2 years now and i can say they have been great. After a long-period use, i highly recommend it. You set the PSI once and you get the same results, every time. Takes usually around 3-4 minutes to deflate. What i do is i connect them first thing i park and by the time i have the flags up and a few quick hellos, the deflating is done. Hope this helps for anyone who is looking for an effortless deflating method.

been hunting for an inflator after my ARB one decided it would no longer give pressure readings accurately.. might give this JACO a shot. Thx @Zubail @Mike M.
