Hey, Armando! Did you win that auction for the Milltek?

You'll need new tires again by then, too.

I'd say that's a little low. I run about 36 all around and I'm lower profile. Your tires are probably flexing a lot in the sidewalls.

You have runflats so you don't need any air.

Thanks,
I don't know if you are going to do any better. The valve ranges from $19.95 to $26.95 online and I haven't seen any with free or low shipping. The Fumoto valve seems to be the most popular and that's the one Moss sells.

OK:

1) The red tow hook is on. It looks good

2) I filled all the tires to 39 psi (warm) and the difference is amazing. Everything has been tightened up. It still feels a little sloppy in the back, but it just sticks to the corners.
