After mounting, inflate to specified pressure shown on tire pracard
so that beads are completely seated.
Install valve core and inflate to proper pressure.
WARNING:
Do not stand over tire when inflating. Bead may break
when bead snaps over rim’s safety hump and cause seri-
ous personal injury.
Do not exceed specified pressure when inflating. If spe-
cified pressure will not seat beads, deflate, re-lubricate
and reinflate.
Over inflation may cause bead to break and cause seri-
ous personal injury.
TIRE REPAIR
There are many different materials and techniques on the market
to repair tires. As not all of these work on all types of tires, tire
manufacturers have published detailed instructions on how and
when to repair tires. These instructions can be obtained from each
tire manufacturer.
BALANCING WHEELS
There are two types of wheel and tire balance: static and dynamic.
Static balance, as shown in left figure, is the equal distribution of
weight around the wheel. Wheels that are statically unbalanced
cause a bouncing action called tramp. This condition will eventual-
ly cause uneven tire wear.
Dynamic balance, as shown in left figure, is the equal distribution
of weight on each side of the wheel centerline so that when the tire
spins there is no tendency for the assembly to move from side to
side. Wheels that are dynamically unbalanced may cause shimmy.
