Was all you got tires or did you get wheels too? What did you buy in either case? Sorry I don't have any knowledge on stems.

A lot of places have them all inclusive with the tire, ie. mount, balance, stems. Road hazard I don't think is worth it. It's just another type of insurance. Doesn't hurt to replace the valve stems, I got a leaky one right now.

Are you buying tires only? If so, the shop where you get them mounted will put new valve stems on if you ask them to.

Yes, I would get new valve stems then. They can start to leak after a while.
