Why should we leave some stem sticking out above the tire thread when cutting it? 1/8 of an inch sticking out is what I heard in the video? Any reason for this? Thanks
We recommend leaving a 1/8" of the stem sticking out as the rubber stretches when it gets pulled through the tire. Over time, that stem can contract. If you cut it too short it can recede into the tire and then no longer be fully through the tire and can allow debris inside the tire through the puncture channel and cause new damage and potential tire failure. In commercial tires it can allow air and water to contact the steel cables leading to rust and corrosion.
