deflate completely and then force the tire away
from
the rim throughout the entire circumference
until
the bead falls into the center of the wheel
rim.
If the vehicle is equipped with tires that use
an
inner tube, carefully remove the inner tube.
With
the inner tube removed, or on tubeless tires, a tire
removing tool should be used to remove the tire
from
the rim.
Installation
of the tire is made in the same manner
by first dropping one side of the tire into the center
of the rim and with a tire tool raise the bead over
the wheel
rim.
The inner tube can now be installed
on vehicles so equipped.
When
mounting the wheel, alternately tighten op
posite stud nuts. After the nuts have been tightened
with
the wheel jacked up, lower the
jack
so wheel rests on the floor and retighten nuts. Torque nuts
to 60-75 lb.-ft. [8,3 a 10,4 kg-m.].
Note:
New "wide" tires have been given new sizes
by tire manufacturers. They use a letter as a key
unit
in the name size for the new wide treads.
The
single letter in front of the "70" indicates load rating, or the weight a tire can support safely
when inflated to 32 psi. The number 70 is used to show the
7-to-10
(70 percent) ratio of tire section height to width. The last two-digit number of the new sizes— 15 —
is
the rim diameter.
Radial
ply
tire sizes all contain the letter
"R"
to designate
radial
ply construction.
