Tires, Mounting


• Pay attention to the instructions for warming-up cold tires to the minimum mounting temperature. Refer to => [ Run-Flat Tire Assembly Requirements ] Run-Flat Tire Assembly Requirements.

• Note the safety precautions. Refer to => [ Run-Flat Tire Safety Precautions ] Service Precautions.

- Coat rim flanges, tire beads and inside of upper tire beads thoroughly with tire mounting paste.

- Turn the wheel rim on tire mounting device so that tire valve/tire pressure sensor - 1 - stands on opposite side of mounting head - 2 -.






- Let the tire dismounting/mounting machine run clockwise.

- Mounting of the lower bead ends before the tire valve/tire pressure sensor - arrow - to prevent damage to tire pressure sensor.






Tire bead now slips over the rim flange. Wheel may be turned only as far until mounting head is located just in front of tire valve/tire pressure sensor - arrow -.

- Turn the wheel rim on tire mounting device so that tire valve/tire pressure sensor - 1 - stands on opposite side of mounting head - 2 -.






- Install the holders - 3 - on the rim.

- Make sure the tire bead sits correctly on the assembly head and let the tire dismounting/mounting machine run clockwise.

- Mounting of the upper bead ends before the tire valve/tire pressure sensor - arrow - to prevent damage to tire pressure sensor.






Tire bead now slips over the rim flange. Wheel may be turned only as far until mounting head is located just in front of tire valve/tire pressure sensor - arrow -.

- Remove the bracket from the wheel rim flange.

- Inflate the tire to max. 3.3 bar (spring pressure).


If tire beads do not make contact completely on disc wheel edge, pressure must not be increased under any circumstances.

Damage to the tire or wheel rim would result.

- If the tire bead does not completely touch the edge of the wheel rim, then let out some air. Press the tire bead one more time and coat the wheel rim flange generously with tire mounting paste.

- Inflate the tire to max. 3.3 bar (spring pressure).

- If tire beads make contact on bead seat without problems, then increase tire pressure to 4 bar to settle tire.

- Install a new nickel plated valve insert and fill the tire with air to the specified tire pressure.

- Balance the wheel.

- Install the wheel and tighten it to the tightening specification. Refer to => [ Wheel Bolt Tightening Specification ] [1][2]Specifications.
