Tire Deflators

[roaniecowpony]

I ordered these based off what others had mentioned on here. Went out West earlier this month and aired down and up quite a bit. The verdict on these Skog's is that they were a complete waste of money. Very slow air out compared to just the deflators on their own (Res-Q). I removed them and the air came out faster.
They do attach as fast as you can push them on but they restricted air flow pretty bad. I will never use them again if anyone is interested, I can mail them.

I had the same experience.

I recently installed the Apex Rapid Deflators. I can air down from 30 to 15 on all 4 tires in about 2 minutes total, including walking around the jeep. Basically, about 15 seconds to bleed 15 psi. Last group trail run, I showed up late and everyone else had aired down. I was ready before the first jeep got 10 feet into the gatekeeper.

Do you know if those work with the TPMS?

I'm not familiar with the Res-Q deflators so maybe there's a compatibility issue.

But, I'd guess the Chuck Mates weren't on your valve stems far enough to fully depress the valve core. Do you have OE valve stems?

Yes, I installed mine myself with the TPMS sensors in my 37s, in the driveway with a couple tire irons from Harbor Fright and a can of starting fluid to re-seat the beads. ...and a Modelo Negra

I do have OEM stems, or whatever they used when they changed out my wheels. They were seated properly as I tried everything. The air would come out quicker on one or two so I moved them around a bit to test. If I moved one that wasn't airing out properly to another tire it did the same thing. Once I took them off of the deflators the air came out more freely. Might work for yall but I will be doing something different.

I guess it would help if I watched the video before asking. I love the idea of these but I know if I try to install them I'll bugger up my wheels with two crow bars. But I have no confidence in the boys at our local tire shop either.

You made me curious so I watched it. Figured I would save you some time. I don’t mind airing down at a normal speed. Looks like a cool product though.

What is normal anyway? I was next to my dad who just bought a Thor's Lightning and he is done in seconds. If everyone was as slow as mine I assume I would feel normal
