ply 16 x 6.00 tires are used as standard equipment on all models with four-ply
15 x 7.00 tires as optional equipment.
Removal and Installation
To remove a tire, deflate the tube.
Starting directly opposite the valve
stem and working in both directions to-
ward the valve, press both beads of the
tire off the rim ledge down into the rim
well. Start removal of one bead at the
valve stem, working around the wheel
in both directions from this point. Pull
the valve back inside of the rim, remove
inner tube and remove the second bead
by the same procedure used to remove
the first.
To install a tire, inflate the tube until
just rounded out and insert into the casing,
placing the valve directly opposite the
double balancing mark (two dots) on the
side wall of front tires and single bal-
ancing mark (one dot) on rear tires. Place one bead over the rim and into the rim
well at one point, so that the remainder of the bead can be worked over the rim.
Press this bead onto its rim seat and insert valve stem through the hole in the rim.
After the valve is aligned in the hole, start application of the second bead directly
opposite the valve, pressing it into the rim well and working in both directions so
that the section of the bead at the valve is the last to be worked onto the rim.
Readjust, if necessary, so that the valve protrudes straight through the rim,
and pull the valve through from outside until seated snugly against the inside
of the rim.
Partially inflate and work both beads onto the rim seats, then complete in-
flation.
Inflation Pressures
In all modern cars, due to high speeds, four-wheel brakes, and the desire
to obtain maximum riding comfort and tire life, it is essential that they be
checked for pressure at least once each week and oftener when touring.
Lower pressures than recommended will result in excessive tread wear and
make the tires more susceptible to bruises and breaks from impact with sharp
irregularities in the road surface. Lower than recommended pressures will often
affect the proper handling of the car.
Hard steering on turns is ordinarily due to low front tire pressure. Wandering
on the road or weaving, tire screeching and the car leaning to one side or rolling
on turns at high speed are traceable to low rear tire pressure.
