[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1421320, member: 19880"] 90° stems may be a problem with a TPMS sensor. (I assume you are talking about external TPMS sensors rather than ones inside the tire.) Good chance the stem will leak as centrifugal force is applied due to the spinning wheel. It depends, of course, upon the mass of the sensor and the length of the valve stem. Lots of people use these (see below). Gives you a 90° access point for filling but the weight of the sensor (on the end) won't apply sideways force on the stem. Also, you don't have to remove the TPMS sensor to add air. [IMG]https://www.tpms.ca/images/TV1.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
