[QUOTE="Harald, post: 1174876, member: 8054"] +1 on the Kurvygirl short metal stems. They've been on my 07 since my first tire change more than 75,000 miles ago and are still working perfectly. I use a 90 degree angled-head tire gauge, so don't have a need for 90 degree stems. ;) Glad you figured out the lube trick. Not only does it make the changing easier, more importantly it allows the tire to seat COMPLETELY. I learned that lesson the hard way many years ago when a front tire seated with no leaks but vibrated horribly because the bead didn't completely seat on part of one side despite a large compressor providing air. Talk about a out-of-round tire situation! :( [/QUOTE]
