• Once the layer of ice starts to melt, water will start to build.
Wipe up the water with a cloth so that the warming process
does not slow down.
Warm-Up Time
♦ Using the example of a room temperature of at least 19 °C
(66.2 °F) and a tire temperature of 0 °C (32 °F) or higher, the
tires should be stored for at least two hours at minimum 19 °
C (66.2 °F).
♦ If the room temperature is minimum 19 °C (66.2 °F) and the
tire temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F) , then the tires should
be stored for at least 2.5 hours at a minimum room tempera‐
ture of 19 °C (66.2 °F).
Recommendations
♦ If possible, let the tires stand in the shop for one day before
mounting them
♦ Store the tires as high as possible on an insulated surface,
pallet or something similar
♦ Position the tires so that they can be "surrounded" by the warm
air
♦ Wipe off the sweat
♦ Never heat the tires with a room heater or a hot air gun!
