Rim Guard suggests that any tire filled have a metal valve stem. Max series have rubber stems, so if any of you are considering a DIY on Rim Guard, replace the stems first. That requires breaking the bead which isn't so hard. But it is difficult to regain the bead seal if you do not have a blaster tank.
If you are going to go with Rim Guard, you should check installed price at your nearest dealer before you spend too much time getting adapters an pumps and stuff. Dealers stock it in huge tanks, so if you bought just the product you would need buckets or a tank or something to haul it....might as well have them put it in your tires and haul it that way. It is sort of like syrup, so a little harder to pump than most stuff. It has the appearance of a viscosity about equal to engine oil.
