Post #3 incorrectly asserted old valves for new tyres. freddiemercurystwin correctly confirmed that would not be the case.
Post #1 never said anything about a new stem being fitted. Carry on, you’ll soon get to 10 pages.
Post #1 stated new tyres from shop. You incorrectly inferred old valves. This shows you literally have no experience. You may be an "expert" in the class room, but you are a beginner in the real world.
Yep. New TYRES. No mention of valves. None. Zip. Zilch. Nada. You are even below the knowledge of a beginner.
Where does it say I can't be below the knowledge of a beginner? Let's get the ranking right shall we?

£50'ish. It's all in the thread. But, you just can't be bothered to read. My money is mine. It's none of your concern.
After plenty have given it, we end up with:
Don’t come on here asking for advice then. Simple. Maybe too simple for you.
I know this has been done to death, but how do you know? Soapy water bubble test?
I've always been sceptical about need for a new valve at each tyre change, just something to get a few more ££ out of you. Valve in rim should last the life of the car IMO, and if the core leaks it can be replaced. Years ago when I was short of cash I refused new valves, nowadays I can't be bothered and it looks a bit parsimonious, so I go along with it.
But my current car has tyre pressure sensors installed in the valves (works very well). Tyre fitters don't mention changing them, but I don't suppose the seal into the rim is any less likely to leak than conventional valves.
So the new valve could be disrupted/destroyed when contacting the tensioned bead during tyre mounting?
Yes, student, that's a good question. Perhaps one day you will grow into an expert given hard work and diligence.
