Apply tire lubricant to the new tire bead
and the flange of the rim. But never apply
grease, oil or gasoline to the tire bead
because they will deteriorate the tire.
Mount the new tire on the rim.
When installing each tire, make sure the
arrow on the tire points in the direction
of rotation. Also make sure the outer side
of the wheel rim is facing outward.
Inflate the tire to seat the tire bead.
Check the rim line cast on the tire side walls.
It must be equidistant from the wheel rim
all the way around. If the distance between
the rim line and the wheel rim varies this
indicates that the bead is not properly
seated. If this is so, deflate the tire
completely, and unseat the tire bead on
bosh sides. Then coat the bead with clean
water and re-seat the tire.
Adjust the tire pressure to specification.
Tire thread
When the tire groove decreases to 6 mm
(0.24 in) due to wear, replace the tire.
