TIRES AND WHEELS
TIRE REMOVAL
The most critical factor of a tubeless tire is the seal between the
wheel rim and the tire bead. Because of this, we recommended
using a tire changer that can satisfy this sealing requirement
and can make the operation efficient as well as functional.
For operating procedures, refer to the instructions supplied by
the tire changer manufacturer.
NOTE:
When removing a tire for repair or inspection, be sure to mark
the tire with chalk to indicate the tire position relative to the
valve position.
Even though the tire is refitted to the original position after
repairing the puncture, the tire may have to be balanced again
since such a repair can cause imbalance.
