Air in Tires

[ragstoy]

Having trouble putting air in my tires, or getting a pressure reading with a tire gadge. I have tried several inflation tool, and several tire pressure gadges. I do get readings in the information center.
Can the valves be defective, and can they be replaced.
Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks

Have you tried all 4 tires? Did someone put a can of tire inflation in and gum up the valve?
Stop by a tire dealer and talk to them.

If you have a Discount Tires store around, they will check it out free.

Did you take the caps off?

Just kidding?

I previously wrote that I had trouble with putting air in my tires. I decided to remove the valve to see if it was plugged up or broken. When attempting to remove the valve I got an oring out. I had purchased a set of decorative valve caps and the orings came out of the caps and blocked the valve After removing the orings all is O.K. Thanks for the replies.

That's happened to me too. The locking caps with the little keychain wrench are especially prone to leaving the O ring jammed into the Schraeder valve.

Damn, I was 1/2 right!
