Before you put any tire
on a rim, Inspect the rim
for rust, tough spots, bent
edges, or cracks that
could prevent the tire from
seating right. If you spot
any of these problems,
don't mount the tire until
the rim has been checked
by your shop foreman.
Inspect the tire for bead
damage.

Once you've made sure the tire is
OK and the right size and the rim is
OK, Mount the tire safely. NEVER, ever
lean over the tire when you're inflat-
ing it. If a tire does explode, it will go
straight up. You don't want to be over
the tire if that happens. Also, never
over-inflate the tire, even if the bead
doesn't seat. Never inflate over 40 PSI.
If the tire hasn't seated, something is
wrong. Deflate the tire and check it
and the rim again. If it doesn't work
the second time, try another tire.
