Are the tire valves on duallies supposed to be directly opposite each in same rim hole or 180* opposite? On semis, they are 180* opposite but our dually has them in same rim hole.

You can have the valve stems in any spot you want for ease, as long as you can get to them. Semis sometime have the stems opposite because like mine I use air equalizers like cat eyes, Crossfires to keep the tires balanced and when you do that the stems need to be located opposite one another

Shops have always put my stems on at the same location. But I can not get my hand through the slot with the valve stem in the way. So I keep mine opposite each other. Because of the number of slots in the wheels they are not exactly 180 out. They are about 170 and only in one direction.

Opposite here too, just so much easier to service and logically [;aced for balance.

opposite here also. I have my tires serviced by a truck tire shop, not an Auto tire shop.
