Repairing a Tyre:
Mark the tyre position suitably (if original
colour dot mark is not visible) with
respect to valve stem hole to ensure that
the tyre is refitted in the original location
on the wheel rim.
Ensure that balancing weights are not
disturbed during removal of tyres.
Check the balance weight prior to the
removal of the tyre. If found loose, mark
its location on the rim and refit properly.
Balance the wheel after every
dismantling and assembly of tyre on the
wheel rim.
Tyre Rotation:
To equalize wear on each tyre, rotate
them periodically as shown in the figure.
Regular tyre rotation will also prevent
abnormal wear.

Wheel Balancing :
Wheels of your vehicle are balanced for
better ride comfort and longer tyre life. It
is recommended to balance the wheel,
whenever tyre is removed from the rim.
Radial tyubeless tyres :
Radial tubeless tyres have following
advantages over conventional tube tyres:
• Lesser heat generation.
• Improves dynamic stability.
• Lower rolling resistance and lesser
weight, which improves fuel
efficiency.
• Better safety
Tyre rotation must be carried out at
specified intervals as per service
schedule.
4. Replace tyre if excessive tread wear
or non uniform tyre wear is noticed.
