C6 Tire Pressure Valve
I've been away for 5 months and my 2006 Corvette has been in my carport (Central Virginia).
Tried to put air in my tires when I returned but 3 of my tires will not take air. I can let air out but cannot put any air in. I have used two different air compressors so that is not the problem.
Are the tire valves stuck somehow from non use and sitting outside under a car port? Any thoughts ? I cannot figure this out!!

I have one of three that won't consistently work on all cars with TPS.

It's possible the last tire place installed brass valve cores instead of nickel plated...... grab some nickel ones, and a tool and swap them, you will only lose a pound or two of you're quick. Then they should be ok
