    extra points for snipping off that little end where air gets put into the tire off.

    them big tires is expensive, and odds are half their paycheck or more goes towards the car payment.

    (obviously this must be done without them present)

      That’s one way to say you don’t understand how tires work

      Sure the tires are expensive, but replacing a valve stem is only going to cost maybe about $50, if you call around a little you might even find somewhere that will do it for like $20.

      Now if it’s not just a stem and has a tire pressure monitor, that gets a little pricey, that might be over $100. Most of those aren’t just a rubber stem but made out of metal, so not as easy to just “snip.” But usually it can still be replaced with a plain stem as long as they’re willing to ignore the light on their dash.
