Deciding from which side of the
wheel the tyre must be demounted
Fig.8
A Narrow side - Side for mounting the tyre
B Rim channel
C Wheel
D Wider side - You cannot mount tyres from
this side
The two sides may be almost identical, but
only the narrow side serves for tyre mounting
and demounting
Identify the side for tyre mounting and make
sure that this side is facing upward when you
install the tyre on the table top (i.e. facing
toward the mount/demount head)

damage the tyre, the rim or both, with the
risk of the tyre exploding under pressure cau-
sing serious injury or death. When mounting

European style high performance wheels (asym-
metrical curvature)
Some European wheels have very pronounced
curves on the rim edge, except in the area of
the valve hole. On this type of wheel bead
breaking must be performed in correspondence
with the valve hole and on the lower and upper
side of the wheel.

Wheels for Corvette, BMW, Lamborghini and
other wheels with "Low pressure indicator
system"
Some types of high performance wheels are
equipped with a pressure transmitter secured
to the rim with a belt on the side opposite the
valve hole. On this type of wheel bead breaking
must be done initially in correspondence with
the valve hole, on both sides of the rim.
