Special care for tubeless tyres :
1. While removing tyre from wheel rim
and mounting it back on wheel rim,
take precautions not to damage
tyre bead. Use tyre removal and
assembly machines. Damage or
cut on tyre bead may cause
gradual loss of air and deflation of
tyre.
2. Do not scratch inside of tubeless
tyre with metallic or sharp object.
Tubeless tyres are coated with
impermeable layer of rubber from
inside which holds the air inside
the tyre. Removal of this layer due
to scratching may cause gradual
loss of air and deflation.
3. If wheel rim gets damaged in
service, get the wheel rim repaired/
replaced immediately. Running the
vehicle with damaged rim may
cause deflation of tyre and
subsequent dislodging of tyre from
rim.
4. Maintain recommended inflation
pressure. Over-inflation, in
particular, may cause puncture or
bursting of tyre.
NOTE
Life and wear pattern of tyres
depends on various parameters like
tyre pressure, wheel alignment,
wheel balancing, tyre rotation, etc.
It also largely depends on vehicle
speed, load carried, usage, driving
habits, road conditions, tyre quality,
etc. In case fault is suspected to
be due to poor quality of tyres, the
same may be taken up with
concerned tyre manufacturer.
