An extremely simple valve stem assembly for a tubeless tire and rim, comprising an elastomeric boot or flexible enclosure adapted to be inserted into a rim hole from one side thereof, and a hard plastic insert, which is specially configured to be joined with the boot, such insert being inserted from the opposite side of the rim so as to create a tight, mechanical fit, the dimensions being so proportioned that a perfect seal is established between the periphery of the boot and the rim by reason of boot expansion, as well as an extremely tight seal between the insert and the inner portion of the boot by virtue of compression between insert and rim.
