CENTRING AND CLAMPING ACCESSORIES IN RELA-
TION TO WHEEL TYPE" in this manual).
Deciding on which side of the wheel to demount the tyre
See fig. 18. Find the position of rim well A on the rim.
Find the largest width B and the smallest width C. The
tyre must be mounted and demounted with the wheel
on the turntable with the smallest width side C facing
upwards.
Special wheels
Alloy rim wheels: some alloy rim wheels have minimal
rim wells A or no rim wells at all - Fig. 19a. These rims are
not approved by DOT standards (Department of Trans-
portation). The DOT initials certify that tyres comply with
the safety standards adopted by the United States and
Canada (these wheels cannot be sold in these markets).
High-performance wheels (asymmetric curvature) -
Fig. 19-b: some European wheels have rims with a very
pronounced curvature C, except in the area of the valve
hole A where the curvature is less pronounced B. On
these wheels the bead must first be broken in the area
of the valve hole, on both the top and bottom sides.
Wheels with pressure sensor - Fig.19c. To work correctly
on these wheels without damaging the sensor
(which may be incorporated in the valve, fixed to the
belt, adhered to the interior of the tyre etc.), appropri-
ate mounting and demounting procedures must be
observed (see the "Approved procedure for mounting/
demounting runflat and UHP tyres").
The TPMS device (optional) may only be used to test the function of pressure sensors.
