Now we know how long valve stems last

While not specific to the 9000, there must be an expiration date on valve stems and we're long past that on a 1995.
A few weeks back, I had a left rear tire go flat in the driveway on my '95 Aero. I was going to air it up to see if it would make three blocks to the tire shop. The valve stem broke off in my hand.
The tire shop installed a new valve stem and three weeks later, right rear, same=same. I'm thinking I should do the front two before one flies off at 80 MPH.
Because I have snows for all my rigs, tires last a long time and I'm pretty certain those were the original valve stems. Rather than try to keep track of how old each is, henceforth, I'm just going to get new stems with each new set of tires.
