These costs are way out of line. If you have a metal valve stem installed at the same time you are having new tires mounted, I seem to recall that they cost a buck or two per tire.

Of course, if you decide to have a tire dismounted, remounted, and rebalanced, simply to replace the valve, then the cost of mounting and balancing will be greater than the cost of the new valve stem. So don't do that. Have the metal stem installed whenever the tire is already going to be off the wheel.

Short answer - check with your tire guy.
