It’s getting hotter outside, which means that a reckless mounting of spring tires will begin in a few weeks. Queues, infatuation, bustle, albeit in a good mood – after all, the bored winter gives way to the long-awaited spring! And in this hype, many are unlikely to notice another interesting trick of experienced shoe changers – the use of soap. Do you know why they actually use it? The answer to this question is in the material of the AvtoVzglyad portal.
The temperature rose – the mountains of dirty, but quickly melting snow on the roadsides are congratulated on the onset of spring. Real. So, it’s time to think about mounting seasonal tires: someone will “change shoes” in the garage, but most will still go to the masters. It is understandable: few people want to get dirty, moreover, specialists will do the work faster and better.
As for speed, there are absolutely no questions here: twice a year tire shops bring their owners a lot of money – the bill goes minutes, so the mechanics will work like a fireplace. But as for the quality – it’s questionable. Will the “changers” with fever strictly follow the “prescriptions”, will they pay due attention to each wheel?
Of course we want this. Firstly, mounting tires is now not the cheapest pleasure. Second, the master’s mistake will backfire at best by digging and cursing with a spare tire, and at worst by a “reinforcement shop”. So savings are savings, but you can entrust this business only to real professionals.
And how can they, these real professionals, be distinguished from the general masses? You should not believe billboards – just as you should not focus only on reviews on the Internet. It is better to look at the work of a specialist. For example, an experienced tire fitter will certainly soap the rim of any tire adjacent to the cast wheel. for what? To make it easier to slide the “round” into the core of the “doughnut”? But it doesn’t: the disc fits anyway, if you press it – no “tools” are needed for these purposes.
Soaping is done solely for easy removal of the tire during the reverse process. It’s no secret that only a few can afford new tires these days, so most will bring a worn-out “bald” that’s been out for more than a season. Of course the tire will be crooked: have you seen our roads? Therefore, to ensure that it stays on the disc and does not let it through, you need a good layer of sealant. Again, they should not be neglected due to the poor quality of the asphalt.
If you put the tire on a disc without soap, but only on a sealant, then “deinstallation” can be the last verse in the life of this tire. By tearing off the glue, the next master simply destroys the landing ring. Guess when you find out? That’s right – next spring, when you come back for tire mounting. With soap solution, this “tragedy” can be avoided, so a truly experienced and honest master will not hesitate to wave a brush a few times.
