Special care for tubeless tyres

While removing tyre from wheel rim
and mounting it back on wheel rim,
take precautions not to damage tyre
bead. Use tyre removal and assem-
bly machines. Damage or cut on tyre
bead may cause gradual loss of air
and deflation of tyre.

Do not scratch inside of tubeless tyre
with metallic or sharp object. Tube-
less tyres are coated with impermea-
ble layer of rubber from inside which
holds the air inside the tyre. Removal
of this layer due to scratching may
cause gradual loss of air and defla-
tion.

If wheel rim gets damaged in service,
get the wheel rim repaired/ replaced
immediately. Running the vehicle
with damaged rim may cause defla-
tion of tyre and subsequent dislodg-
ing of tyre from rim.

Maintain recommended inflation
pressure. Over-inflation, in particu-
lar
,
may cause puncture or bursting
of tyre.
NOTE

Life and wear pattern of tyres de-
pends on various parameters like
tyre pressure, wheel alignment,
wheel balancing, tyre rotation,
etc. It also largely depends on ve-
hicle speed, load carried, usage,
driving habits, road conditions,
tyre quality, etc. In case fault is
suspected to be due to poor qual-
ity of tyres, the same may be
taken up with concerned tyre
manufacturer.

For steel rim, Red dot of tyre to be
matched with blue dot of rim
while re-fitment.

For alloy rim, Yellow dot of tyre to
be matched with valve of rim
while re-fitment.
