The only thing the nut collar is good for is keeping the valve from sinking into the tire when the tube is completely deflated and you're trying to get the pump on the valve. They can cause the tube around the valve to tear sometimes, so you have better odds of making your tubes last if you don't use them. And tube changes are quicker without.
