Protection

Protection: Valve stem caps protect the tyre's valve stem by keeping dirt, moisture, and dust out, which can damage the valve and lead to reduced tyre pressure.

2/5

Protective Barrier

Protective Barrier: They act as a protective barrier to the valve stem and core, preventing it from being damaged or clogged.

3/5

Dust, Dirt, And Debris

Dust, Dirt, And Debris: If a car's tyre valve cap is missing, dust, dirt, and debris can accumulate around the valve stem and may even enter the tyre, when inflating it.

4/5

Tyre Pressure

Tyre Pressure: When debris and particles get inside the valve, they can prevent it from sealing properly, leading to a gradual loss of tyre pressure.

5/5

Safety

Safety: And, as all of us know low tyre pressure directly affects driving safety and reduces the lifespan of the tyre.
