Got a Skoda keyring and metal valve caps with the Skoda logo on from a granddaughter, she wants to see them in place when I next visit, (I'm still waiting for the car), I wondered if anyone else had these and is there an issue about them becoming stuck to the tyre stem?

My lad bought me a tee-shirt from fleebay with the slogan;

I :love: my Yeti

There are many general reports of this happening. I would try coating them in silicone grease and keep trying them.

I would think there is more chance of some little swine nicking them I am sorry to say.

Wot.!..."Skoda" valve caps.

I've got metal "Vespa" caps on my scoot, and even with copper grease smeared round the threads they do tend to stick on if I've not ridden for a while, so not had occasion to check the tyre pressures. For this reason I bought the plastic version for the car and so far they've been fine.

On a car you'd be checking tyre pressures more regularly (or should ) so with the threads greased you should be OK. Most of the logo caps have hex heads so can be loosened off if the worst comes to the worst.

Never had a problem with theft. Probably not worth the effort as they're readily available on eBay for a few quid.
