I like the concept and would hope it will withstand sand. Did you had to get the tyres balanced after installation? 1 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

Yes, wheels must be disassembled for installation, and these parts are quite heavy - so for sure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luwaimn Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 I have seen these things sold by XXXXX and was at a point very much ready to buy these but settled for a less expensive version of them. I only tried them once and were not accurate. But the stem removal tool is honestly the best tool I have and makes me feels that dont need to spend anymore than that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got these fast deflation valves too, such a life saver😃 Previously I used to remove the valve core stem, I did not mind waiting 40-50 seconds to remove the stem. But couple of times I had the issue of valve getting stuck. And with BFG's, its not easy to fix quickly. So I wanted an option to avoid valve core stem removal. This was the perfect solution. Plus the deflation happens for my 285's in 10 seconds. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looper Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 Got fitted rapid deflation valves today. Just 10 seconds per tyre to deflate now. They pressure up a bit quicker as well. 2 1 1 don't drive like its your last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looper Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 PS: The Apex valves don’t work well with the petrol pump air compressors. It might not be a problem for most since all would have a compressor in the car and use it to inflate. I have a OCD for the correct numbers on my dash and would visit them 1-2 times a week to make sure it is uniform, 😔 don't drive like its your last one.

Looper Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 One more issue with the Apex deflators - they pressure out so fast that they condense the air in the tire as the air cools down rapidly, and it will show a lower pressure till the air inside the tire comes back to normal temperature. So when I set the tire pressure to 12 psi, in the first instance in a minute or so it comes back to 14 psi. I do a couple of rounds to deflate back to 12 from around 14. 1 don't drive like its your last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Seidam Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) I use the stem removal tool I believe it’s the fastest especially when you get handy in it . And yes the point that @Goutam has mentioned is correct . For this reason I go to 9 or even 8.5 PSI especially in summer time and forget about it the whole trip . However still I do check when ever possible .. something that I can’t help 😄 and it’s never above my sweet 10 to 11 psi at end point !

Sergio Big Dawg Posted November 23, 2021 Report Share Posted November 23, 2021 After trying the rapid tyre deflator (brand Lele) and struggling a bit due to its unreliability, I'm now happy with the following simple deflators. I screw them in, 1 min, unscrew, and adjust the last 1-2psi manually, checking with the gauge. Plus, I have to say, they make a very fancy key holder 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 don't drive like its your last one.
