Default What size nut goes onto a typical US passenger tire Schrader valve?

Yes, just lube it with something.

They do make valve stems that instead of a friction fit that have a nut
on the outside so the valve stem fits on like a bolt.


I have seen those nut-type valve stems in the stores, and I read while I
looked this up that alloy wheels often use them.

I have steel wheels so I'll use the rubber but is the procedure the same
for the nut-type?

Or do you just unscrew them and they fall out and you screw them and they
go in (without any special tools)?

You got'er Cotter. Just tighten with a socket wrench.
