There are many things to consider when purchasing new tires and after you have purchased a set already. Our tire tips give you insight into items to consider when making your decision.
| Tire Mounting |
|
Danger: Only specially trained persons should mount tires. Improper mounting can cause tire explosion and serious injury.
 Follow these mounting precautions: - Wear approved eye protection.
- Clean and lubricate beads and rim.
- Centralize rim band and tube to prevent pinching if tube-type rim.
*Note directional arrows on sidewall where applicable. - Lock assembly on mounting machine or place in safety cage before inflating to seat beads.
- Set air hose relief valve at 40 psi.
- Use extension gauge and hose with clip-on air chuck. Stand back with no part of your body within the perimeter of the assembled tire and rim.
- Inflate with core in valve stem.
- Never inflate above 40 psi to seat beads.*
- Spin wheel to check bead seating and alignment.
*If the beads do not seat by 40 psi, deflate and repeat above procedures. Never use a volatile substance or rubber "donut" to aid bead seating. If the tire is a tube-type, deflate and reinflate after seating to prevent tube wrinkles. - For 15-inch motorcycle replacement tires, never mount on a 15-inch diameter passenger car tire rim. Mount only on a 15 M/C motorcycle rim. These passenger car and motorcycle rims actually differ in diameter.
- Never mount passenger car tires on motorcycle rims.
- D402 PT bead lock tires may only be mounted on matching Harley-Davidson FXRP, FLHTP or FLHP rims. Consult your owner's manual and see special tread label mounting instructions.
