Purchased this product for my 2012 172S with the wheel pants on all the time. For the mains-through the wheel pant access door open, I found that with a little coaxing of the tire valve stem, this valve extension threaded on easily and I was able to check / inflate the tires without any issues. For the nose wheel-at least on my airplane, the tire valve stem was aligned in the center of the wheel pant access door and I did not need the valve extension to check / inflate that tire. Simple solution, that worked great.

This straight valve extension that screws onto the tire valve works much better than the push-on straight extension I have used for a few years.

Perfect for wheel pants

Works well better than removing wheel pants wish it had a 90 degree attachment to valve stem

Great idea but.... The geometry on the end which attaches to the tire is too long to use on AeroClassic 50x5 leakguard tires. Extension gets stuck on the valve stem making it impossible to remove without taking the wheel pant off, which is much harder now that you cant rotate the tire with the extension sticking through the hole.
