The air valve, which serves as the inlet when inflating a car tire.
We generally recommend replacing this part, which is fixed to the wheel, during tire replacement.
We carry parts compatible with various types of air valves.
We will select the best option to match your wheels.
What is an air valve?
The air valve is the component that serves as the inlet when inflating a tire.
We will now inflate the tires.
The valve uses rubber to prevent high-pressure air from leaking out when inflated inside the tire.
This is also true for metal valves, where rubber components are still used at the base.
Since the material is rubber, it will deteriorate over time.
In the worst case, the valve may crack and leak air, or the valve itself may break off.
We charge labor fees in addition to parts costs for valve replacement, but labor is free when done simultaneously with tire replacement.
Although it's an inconspicuous part, it's extremely important for the tire, so we generally recommend replacing it every time you change your tires.
There are several types of air valves.
Rubber valve
This is the most standard type of valve.
Most passenger cars are equipped with this valve.
¥550 (tax included/per item)
Valve with sleeve
This is a type with decorations added to the rubber valve mentioned above.
A plated cover is included, enhancing the overall appearance.
How about adding an accent to your car's underbody?
Moreover, it's not just about looking good.
The cover protects the rubber from rain, wind, and direct sunlight, which also helps delay valve deterioration.
Please give it a try sometime.
¥880 (tax included/per piece)
Packing for metal valves
This is the rubber gasket attached to the base of the metal valve.
We also handle replacement of this gasket at our shop.
Gaskets come in various shapes, and we always keep over 10 types of gaskets in stock.
At first glance, this metal valve may appear reliable, but air leaks frequently occur due to deterioration of the packing.
We recommend replacing this gasket when changing tires.
※Some gasket shapes may not be compatible. Please feel free to contact us for details.

Metal valve body
It is also possible to install a metal valve on a wheel that originally has a rubber valve installed.
Please feel free to consult us regarding the selection of metal valves that match the shape of the valve holes on the wheel side.
1,650 yen and up (tax included/per item)
Integrated Air Pressure Sensor Valve
You can also replace the valve with a tire pressure sensor that constantly monitors tire pressure.
It's an excellent device that lets you constantly check if the tire pressure is correct and immediately detects a flat tire.
Details are provided on the page below . As this is our top-recommended product, we encourage you to consider it.
