Care & Maintenance of Tyre
• Always mount tyres on correct size rim.
• Rim should be free of dirt, rust & should be free of bends.
• Rim valve hole should be round and smooth.
• Clean tyre interiors before placing the tyre inside.
• Lubricate tyre beads with mild soap solution before assembling and while removing the tyre.
• As far as possible use tyre mounting machine for tyre fitting & tyre removing from wheel rim.
• Also ensure proper usage of tools so that bead area doesn't get damaged. If the rim gets damaged it
has to be replaced as there will be a permanent air leakage between rim and tyre.
• Before inflating the tyre, check whether the beads are seating correctly on the rim seats.
• Slightly exceed the tyre pressure to seat the beads. After beads are seated adjust inflation pressure to
as recommended below.
Damage Chance
To avoid scratches on the paint & damages to wheel rim portion, it is essential to take certain
care & precautions while carrying out puncture repair job. Following steps must be followed.
