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)

I noticed the original price at launch was close to 1000Aed. I like the concept and would hope it will withstand sand. Did you had to get the tyres balanced after installation?

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.

@Ilya Golubinsky,

Thanks for the share. 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.

Got fitted rapid deflation valves today. Just 10 seconds per tyre to deflate now. They pressure up a bit quicker as well.

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, 😔

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.

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 !

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 😄

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.
