    They recommend steel valve stem for mounting the TPMS sensors as the weight of the sensor could weaken the rubber stem (particularly the heavier 507 flow-thru sensor) casing a failure.

    i guess it could be a problem, I have had mine for 9 months and over 3,000 miles with no problems yet. I have TPMS 507 on factory valve stems. I think even steel valve stems use rubber gaskets.
