- Pay close attention to the installation instructions.
-- The wheel must be inspected before mounting, as with conventional wheel/tire systems.
-- The wheels should be checked for damage after a flat tire (true running, axial run-out, other damage) because the wheel could be damaged in an emergency by driving through a pothole.

Flat tire sprays may be used on tires with emergency running characteristics (SST).
Tires must be replaced after running flat.
Observe the manufacturer mounting instructions.
