Tyre instalation.

[Pieter1]

Hi.

 

Today I bought my first new tire, I put it on (correctly I think) but when it turns it has a wobble in it. Does the rubber just need to mould itself more rounded? Its a Kenda Nevegal and the tire is inflated to the max.

 

Thanks!

Sheesh, I'm battling to keep beer in my mouth this evening :lol:

 

Congrats Pieter1. Wella!

 

I don't however think it is going to mould itself more rounded, so you are going to have to do it.

 

Check around the perimeter of the rim, where it meets the tyre. You will see a 'strip' that is just above the bead of the tyre (the rounded edge that seats into the rim on the inside). That 'strip' should be an even measure all round the outside of the rim.

If it aint, deflate the tyre some. Grip the offending spot with two hands, and 'roll' the tyre away from the rim. Do it all round till even.

Re-inflate.

 

Check your wobble.

 

If it all looks even, and it still wobbles, check that your rim is true.
