Tires should be mounted on wheels of correct size and type that are in good, clean condition. Bent, chipped or rusted wheels may cause tire damage. The inside of the tire must be free from foreign material. Have your tire retailer check the wheels before mounting new tires. Mismatched tires and rims can explode during mounting.

Mounting
Tire mounting can be dangerous and must be done
by professionally trained persons using the proper
tools and procedures as specified by the Rubber
Manufacturers Association.
Tires should be mounted on wheels of correct size and
type that are in good, clean condition. Bent, chipped
or rusted wheels may cause tire damage. The inside of
the tire must be free from foreign material. Have your
tire retailer check the wheels before mounting new
tires. Mismatched tires and rims can explode during
mounting. Also, mismatched tires and rims can result
in tire failure on the road. If a tire is mounted on the
wrong-sized rim, do not remount it on the proper rim;
scrap it. It may be damaged internally because it is
dangerously stretched, and could fail on the highway.
Old valves may leak. When new tubeless tires are
mounted, have new valves of the correct type installed.
Tubeless tires must be mounted only on wheels
designed for tubeless tires, i.e., wheels that have
safety humps or ledges. Make sure all valves have
suitable valve caps. Valve caps are the primary seal
against air loss.
Tires and wheels that are not balanced may cause
steering difficulties, a bumpy ride and irregular tire
wear. It is recommended that you have your tires
and wheels balanced.
