Are the valve stems (I hope this is the right term?) supposed to be changed when you change tires?

Metal valve stems from Porsche can be reused (upto 3 times) but the rubber versions MUST be replaced. If you are running around with hollow-spoke wheels use only Porsche valve stems, they are a few mm shorter than regular valve stems (they cost the same).
