What Happens When Tyres Are Fitted Incorrectly?

Incorrectly fitted tyres in your vehicle can be dangerous while driving because they can easily damaged and burst which can lead to road accidents and serious personal injuries. It is important to have tyres fitted by an experienced technician, who ensures your vehicle tyres are fitted properly.

Process of Tyre Fitting at A & B Tyres in Ipswich

As a vehicle owner, you should also know how your vehicle tyre fitting is done in our garage. Here is a step-by-step guide for doing tyre fitting:

Removing the Wheel from the Vehicle

First, the vehicle should be empty of passengers, the handbrake should be engaged and the engine should be turned off. Then the mechanic will only loosen the wheel nuts on all four wheels with a wheel wrench. Next, the mechanic raised the vehicle with the help of a hydraulic lift, so that all four wheels were completely off the ground. Now the mechanic will remove the wheel nuts and remove each wheel one by one.

Fitting the Tyre to the Wheel

The mechanic will unscrew and remove the valve from the old tyres, to release the inflation pressure. Once all the air goes out from all the tyres, they will remove the old tyre from the wheel rim by using a tyre spreader. This tool helps to move the tyre sidewall. Next, the mechanic makes sure the diameter of the new tyre matches the diameter of the rim. They also check if the rims are in perfect condition and free of rust. If the mechanic is fitting tube-type tyres, they check if the inner tubes are in good condition or not. Now, the mechanic will coad the beads and the rim with a fitting lubricant as recommended by most of the tyre manufacturers. Next, they mount the tyres onto the wheel by using the tyre spreader. The mechanic will inflate the tyres while the vehicle is securely mounted on a mounting machine. Once the bead of the tyres is seated correctly on the shoulder of the rim, the mechanic will increase the amount of tyre pressure in order to achieve a firm grip on the flanges of the rim.

Check the Direction of Tread Patterns

The mechanic will check the directional tyres must rotate in the same direction where the arrow goes on the sidewall as the wheel moves forward. The only exception to this condition is the short-term use of a spare tyre. However, Drivers should revert to the specified fitted position as early as possible.If the tyres are asymmetrical, then fitment must be with the sidewall of the vehicle, so that the asymmetrical treads can get optimal effect.

Fitting the Wheel to the Vehicle

If the mechanic notices any signs of uneven wear in the old tyre then they will check the axle geometry of the vehicle and make adjustments if necessary. When mounting the wheel caps and wheel trim rings, the mechanic will make sure that there is a good amount of clearance between the sidewall of the tyre. They also make sure the wheel cap or wheel trim ring contact with the tyre under any circumstances. Now they tighten the wheel nuts by hand and lower the car to the ground with the help of a hydraulic lift. At last, once the vehicle is on the ground, the mechanic will tighten the nuts more firmly in a star pattern.
