Of course one side has a valve stem extender for the inner tire and one does not and there is no way I can reach that inner tire to check the air pressure, and again, trying to get a reading with a tire pressure stick provides pretty unreliable results for that tire.

Also any advice for getting the shiny "wheel covers" off? Do they just pry off from the edge?
You can get quality valve extenders from NAPA. Viair makes a high quality some what expensive 12v air pump. Pick the size that fits your needs. I have one mounted to my Jeep and another for the motorhome. They work fine on both. If you see a bunch of narly jeeps coming off an equally narly trail and they have their hoods up it’s not because of engine problems. They are airing up their tires. Most with viair pumps.
