Show the answer

Renew the valve seal and other valve parts as specified for the fitted designThis was the right answer

Michelin specifies replacing tubeless valve seals and inflation extensions during tyre replacement. Some rubber valves are replaced complete; other designs, including electronic valves, have serviceable seals. Use a trained fitter and the correct parts rather than discarding every complete valve.
