I'm not sure why plastic valve stem caps keep breaking when installed on my cars. Maybe the valve cap fairy wants more tribute from me. Every 6-12 months, I find that the tips of plastic caps cracked and the inner workings of the valve stem exposed to dirt and grime. Some are on the verge of falling off. This happens with the Coscto green caps. This happens with the ones I buy from the auto parts store. This happens to all plastic caps. This happens on all tires of all of my cars. In the past, I found myself buying packs of plastic caps every year or so to have them around when one did break. Multiply this with the fact that I keep each of my cars ~10 years, and I've spent more time, money, clutter storage space, and brain waves on something I shouldn't be spending any more time, money, storage space, or brain waves on. (This review will be the last time I spend any brain waves thinking about valve stem caps!)The first car whose plastic caps I replaced with these aluminum caps has never since had a broken or missing valve cap. So I'm back to buy more of these for the rest of my cars.A broken plastic valve stem cap is just a minor annoyance added to the task of keeping your tires filled with air or rotating your wheels, but wouldn't you want to be free of this minor annoyance for the next decade or so that you own your car? Besides lasting for the life of your car, they look better than plastic caps, and the texture makes them easier to handle with dirty or greasy hands/gloves. For the cost of 1-2 packs of packs of the plastic kind at your local auto supply store, get yourself a set of these instead ASAP.Brain waves out.
