3) THE REPAIRING OF RUN FLAT TIRES.
8. Storage
If you need to store tires off the car for short periods
of time, as in the case of winter tires, they should be
stored in a cool, dry place. They must be protected
from heat, water, ozone and direct sunlight. It is
suggested you place them in opaque, waterproof
containers (e.g., plastic trash bags).
9. Tubes in Tubeless Tires
Under no circumstances are tubes to be used in
Pirelli tires marked “Tubeless”. This includes tires
that have been repaired. If the tire’s pressure
retention ability has been affected, so as to
necessitate a tube being installed, the tire must be
replaced.
10. Tire Valves
Whenever new tires are installed on your wheels,
new tire valves of the correct type must be
installed. During your routine tire inspection, verify
that all your valves have proper valve caps.
Replace as necessary, since the valve cap is also a
seal against pressure loss.
11. Tire Demounting and Mounting
Tire fitting is best left to professionals who have the
proper tools and equipment to perform the task
properly and safely. Your tires should be mounted
or demounted, or inflated using the Rubber
Association of Canada procedures or the vehicle
manufacturers’ recommendations.
Your wheels should be in good, clean condition.
Wheels should be inspected for distortion, dents,
cracks, rust and foreign matter, and be replaced as
necessary. NEVER EXCEED 40 PSI WHEN SEATING
BEADS.
12. Tire/Wheel Alignment and Balancing
Tire/Wheel alignment specifications are issued by
your vehicle manufacturer and your vehicle must be
kept within these tolerances. You should have your
alignment checked annually or whenever you
notice any irregular wear or vibrations. Tire/Wheel
assemblies should be balanced each time a tire is
fitted to a wheel. Tire/Wheel alignment and
