Every experienced driver knows by heart what and how a tire mechanic should do. But far from everyone knows what things are categorically contraindicated when replacing “rubber”. The AvtoVzglyad portal will tell you what you should strongly avoid while changing the spring wheel.
Many specialists, or those who call themselves that, use a soap solution to mount the “rubber”. Yes, cheap, but certainly not angry. The fact is that when working with soap it is easier than ever to damage the bead ring of the tire and it will not sit tight on the rim. In the worst case, the power frame can even distort. Therefore, it is necessary to check what the masters use. The only correct “tool” is a special assembly paste.
In no case should self-adhesive weights be used when balancing, which not only quickly fly off (and this fundamentally affects the operation), but also cause corrosion. In addition, you should not hang used weights, which also makes the procedure pointless and forces the driver to go to the tire shop again. Let’s say more: loose mounting brackets can easily send a dropped weight directly into the braking system mechanisms. Therefore, experimenting with such things is absolutely not worth it.
It is categorically impossible to be limited to a key when installing a rim in the seats. Yes, the tool is handy and fast, but in order for the bolt to enter the thread correctly, you must first screw it in manually. In fact, how to check the required tightening level with the handles after the wheel is on the ground. And also a pneumatic key often breaks off the heads of the so-called secrets, so it is extremely contraindicated to abuse its capabilities.
In addition, do not neglect washing tires and rims. The tread of the tire must be thoroughly cleaned so as not to violate the direct properties responsible for comfort and safety. And the disc must be washed from all sides, including the inside. After all, balancing can be ineffective if the wheel is dirty. The reason for this is the inaccuracy in the distribution of the very weight balance that is so necessary for optimal operation.
Finally, it is impossible to inflate tires with air, because the area of adhesion of the tire with the road surface decreases and, in some cases, the handling deteriorates, especially at high speeds. In addition, the pumping forces the wheels to react uncomfortably hard to the flaws of Russian directions, disabling not only the wheels and tires quite quickly, but also the car’s suspension.
