Ditching RFTs ... Do I need new valve stems?

noahkaatz · 03-19-2011, 10:11 AM

I'm moving my 2007 328i with Sport Package from OEM Bridgestone RFTs to Continental ExtremeContact DWS from Tire Rack. Do I need to order new valve stems too (OEM?, Metal?)? The installer nearby doesn't appear to offer metal valve stems, so I'm not sure if I need new ones, or if I should supply my own.

Thanks

No, just have the new tires installed on your current wheels. The TPMS sensors and stems are reused.
