The problem with the rubber ones (high pressure or not) is that they rot over time. The steel ones do have a nut on the outside but it is rare to have one come lose. Even if the nut falls completely off, the air pressure should hold the valve in place until you can replace the nut.
For those of us with steel valve stems, it may not hurt to check to be sure that those nuts are tight when we check our tire pressure before each trip......thanks for the heads-up Malinda...
