MINIMIZING TIRE WEAR
To obtain maximum tire life it is good practice to
change tire positions at intervals of from 2,500 to 3,000
miles. This involves placing the left front tire and wheel
assembly on the left rear hub, moving the right front
assembly to the spare wheel carrier, right rear to left
front, left rear to the right front and the spare to the
right rear hub. Switching the tires in this manner changes
their direction of rotation and equalizes the tread wear over
5 tires instead of 4.
TIRE AND WHEEL BALANCE
Proper tire and wheel balance is essential to prevent
low speed thumping and high speed wheel tramp, both of
which contribute to poor handling, certain riding discomforts and excessive
wear of front end parts. Tires and tubes are balanced at the time of assembly
at the factory. The balancing marks are indicated on the tire by a small red
mark. Whenever a tire is removed from the wheel it should always be reinstalled
with the red mark aligned with the valve stem.
Although tires and wheels are balanced when they leave the factory, subsequent
tire wear causes them to go out of balance. To maintain proper balance and
assist in prolonging tire life, it is the tire manufacturers' recommendation that
the wheel and tire assemblies be checked for balance every 2,500 miles and
whenever a tire ha repaired or recapped. Your Authorized Hudson Dealer has the
necessary equipment to perform this work.
DISMOUNTING AND REMOUNTING TIRES
TO DISMOUNT—Deflate the tube completely. Stand on the tire with both feet
to force the bead away from the rim. Push the valve stem back into the tire. With
two tire tools inserted about eight inches apart between the bead and the rim,
raise the bead over the rim.
Be careful not to pinch the tube with the tools.
With
one tool in position, move the other tool around the rim and remove the remainder
of the bead. Then remove the tube.
Stand wheel in upright position with inner bead in rim well. Apply liquid soap
around both sides of rim. Insert both tire tools between bead and rim and pry tire
out of rim.
TO REMOUNT TIRE—Coat both beads of tire with liquid soap to help
slide them over the rim. Inflate tube just enough to round it out, then insert it
in the tire, placing the valve stem directly in line with the red balancing mark
on the tire. Place the tire on the wheel, carefully guiding valve stem into the hole
in the rim. Push the inner bead over the rim and into well at valve stem and force
balance of bead over the rim. It may be necessary to force a small remaining
portion of the bead over the rim with the tire tool.
Insert the tire tool between outer bead and rim at a point opposite
the valve stem and work bead over the rim. Leave tool in place and work
