tyre valve
A valve stem is a self-contained valve that opens to admit gas to a chamber (such as air to inflate a tire), and is then automatically closed and kept sealed by the pressure in the chamber, or a spring, or both, to prevent the gas from escaping.
There are many types of valves, and they are most commonly used on automobile, motorcycle, and bicycle tires, but also for many other applications. The most common type is the Schrader valve, but some road bicycles with skinny tires instead use the Presta valve.
MG ZS 2022 - Today I Learned that the hub caps have one air vent that is longer than the others, and that that particular opening needs to be placed at the tyre valve. Otherwise you can't access the valve with the air pump and will need to remove the hub cap (risking it cracking). #wheels #tyres
