Well, our White Hawk 20MRB has the Rainiers and so far we have towed it from Seattle to eastern Ohio and back in 2015 and to LasCruces NM and back in 2016 with no problems. Our trade in had relatively new Maxxis tires on it when we traded and I considered really hard on whether to swap out the tires but decided to give the Rainiers a fair chance as they were new on the market.

I think my rims are Sendel.

Where do I get the metal valve stems? Is there anything special about them that I need to consider? My first instinct is to poke around on etrailer.com to see what they recommend.

Any auto parts store should have them in stock.

I bought a 6- 2 packs at O'Reillys. They were in a blister pack for less than $5.00 each. They come with a note that says they will fit 2 size rim holes depending if you use a washer that is included. I have the same rims and did not need anything.

I took them to the tire dealer to install with the new tires and I saved the cost of what they were going to charge me for the non-metal high pressure stem. I only needed 10 for all my tires and spares so now I have a couple of spares just in case.
