yes
and also check the valve cap
1 trick was to put chewing gum inside them and let it go hard and screw the cap back onto the valve
it slowly loses the air out
then you come along pump the tyre up and put that same valve cap back on ;D

I did it this way getting a whrel off the brother-in-law's car when he'd carried on driving his crar despite the horrible braking noises when he'd run out of brake lining! prick!
