1. Precautions for replacing tires
Caution
- When replacing the tire, make sure to use tires of the same size.
- Do not mix different types of tires, such as radial tires with bias tires, except for emergencies.
- Remove the tires by following the handling instructions provided by each tire changer manufacturer.
- Do not replace tires using only a hand tool or tire lever.
The tire bead or wheel rim may be damaged.
2. Tire removal (Models without tire air pressure sensors)
1) Remove the valve cap and valve core from the valve to release air from the tire.
2) Using a tire bead breaker, break the tire bead to the inside of the wheel rim.
3) Remove the tire bead from the wheel rim using the tire changer.
4) Remove the tire from the disc wheel.
5) Remove the valve from the disc wheel.
3. Tire removal (Models with tire air pressure sensors)
