I wonder if this is the reason that, when I got new
tires installed at Sears last weekend (for my daily
driver, not the Westy), they installed valve stems
with a metal shank around them. Perhaps the growing
popularity of plastic wheel covers has been chewing up
a lot of valve stems?

Never seen these before, except as flashy chrome
accessory add-ons at the auto parts store. Even came
with metal screw-on caps.

And my car doesn't even HAVE wheel covers ...
