IMO any vehicle owner should have way of topping off tires. If they don’t that tells me they don’t check tire pressure like they are supposed to.
That has come up before. Easy solution, buy a valve stem extender. A set of four are like $4.00. I would not leave them on. I expect on a car it would effect the tire balance.
Perhaps not the reason for it but my bicycle pump has a hole up near the handle, perhaps for a ball needle into which I store my valve extender.
