The material selection of car tire valves should be balanced based on specific needs and actual situations, with rubber and aluminum alloy each having their own advantages and disadvantages.
When choosing the material for car tire valves, rubber and aluminum alloy are two common choices. Rubber valves are widely used due to their versatility and wide applicability, and can adapt to most wheels with good sealing performance. However, rubber valves are prone to aging and may crack, deform, or lose elasticity, especially during vehicle operation. Rubber valves may deform due to centrifugal force, further accelerating their aging process. Therefore, it is generally recommended to replace the tire valve every 3 to 4 years, which is roughly equivalent to the service life of the tire.
In contrast, aluminum alloy valves have the advantages of being less prone to rust and having a lightweight texture, making them more suitable for car owners who pursue lightweight and dynamic balance. The service life and air tightness of aluminum alloy valves are better, which is more beneficial for the dynamic balance of the wheels. However, aluminum alloy valves may require more consideration when replacing, especially when selecting for later replacement.
Overall, rubber valves are suitable for various types of wheels due to their stronger versatility and anti-theft performance, while aluminum alloy valves are more commonly used for later replacement and have the advantages of being less prone to rust and lightweight. When choosing a valve, one should weigh personal needs and actual situations to ensure driving safety.
