SECTION 12

CUSTOM AND SPECIAL WHEELS

If a custom wheel is damaged in dismounting, STOP, and

avoid damaging the other wheels. Continue only when the 

cause is identified and corrected.

Alloy Wheels

Some manufacturers offer wheels with little or no drop     

center. These are not DOT approved. The tire or wheel - or 

both - can be damaged and the tire could explode under 

pressure, resulting in serious injury or death. If you attempt 

to mount/demount this type of wheel, use extreme caution.

European Performance Wheels (Asymmetrical Hump)

Some European wheels have very large humps except 

near the valve hole. On these wheels, the beads should be     

loosened at the valve hole on both the upper and lower 

sides first.

Wheels with Low Pressure Warning Sensors

Performance wheels on some vehicles (including Corvette, 

BMW, Lamborghini Diablo) have a pressure sensor strapped 

to the rim opposite the valve hole. On these wheels, the 

beads should be loosened at the valve hole on both upper 

and lower sides first.

DEMOUNTING TUBE TYPE TIRES

1. After both tire beads are loosened, lubricate the beads 

and rim liberally.

2. Position the demount head and bead lifting tool as 

described earlier paying careful attention not to pinch the 

tube. Depress the table top pedal and rotate only a short 

distance at a time. This allows you to stop the process 

should you suspect the tube is getting pinched.

3. After upper bead is demounted, remove tube and 

demount lower bead. 

 

FOR TUBE-TYPE TIRES 

With tube-type tires, demount the upper bead 

and remove the tube before de-mounting the 

lower bead. 

NOTE:

Table top rotation can be stopped at any time 

by removing your foot from the rotation pedal. 

Normal table top rotation for demounting is 

clockwise. Depress the table top pedal to rotate 

this direction. To rotate the table top counter-

clockwise, lift the pedal up with your toe.

WARNING!

Check tire and wheel carefully before 

mounting. Make sure the tire bead diameter 

and wheel diameter match exactly. Consult 

the Rubber Manufacturer’s Association for 

approved rim widths for tire sizes.

DANGER! 

Attempts to force a bead seat on mis-matched 

tires and wheels can cause the tire to violently 

explode, causing serious personal injury or 

death to operator and/or bystanders.

WARNING! 

Never mount a tire and wheel handed to you by 

anyone without checking both tire and wheel for 

damage and compatibility. Be extra cautious of 

persons without knowledge of tire service. 

Keep bystanders out of service area.
