anyone else change their tire valves?

idk why it's sooo hard to even put air into the outer tires. the innies are just impossible. anyone have any recs? i've heard longer ones for the innies help, and u-shaped ones on the outies. i have steel rims, LT 225/75/R16 E tires. a 2008 Chevy Express G3500 6.6 Diesel. haven't found a truck shop that knows what sizes are good for me bus! even the dealer said my bus doesnt have TPMS on it so they have no idea. so i'm resorting to chat and reddit now haha! i found this kit that is for the same model bus i have but its crazy pricey compared to fleet pride. they don't have many options on there for .453" rim holes that are longer than an inch. are 6" long valves necessary for easier tire filling or do you guys have shorter? and are u-shaped ones much easier for the outies? not sure about buying extenders instead as i've heard those leak

tire shopping is the worst... halp?

omg you guys, i have been researching tires for days and my head is spinning. what would you guys pick from these options for a skoolie?

discount tire told me all 6 have to match and if i have to choose between two diff brands, that i should spend more on the rear tires due to hydroplaning and traction. anyone know if this info is true? i've heard opposite in terms of matching all 6 and that the steers are more important.

i'm moving cross country in my bus and already spending so much on the move, so honestly i was leaning on putting 4 entry level tires on the duallys and then either mohaves or laufenns in the front. thoughts? <333
