Safety Issues

Secure attachment of the tire and wheel assembly to the hub must be maintained. Tire dismounting and mounting procedures must be adhered to and proper torque applied. Replacement wheels must match the proper bolt circle, nut/bolt type, capacity, offset and rim contour. Failure to use the proper rim contour can result in explosive separation of the tire and wheel and could cause a serious accident. When changing wheels with cosmetic center caps, care must be taken to assure the center cap does not interfere with the attachment of the wheel to the hub face. Do not attempt to repair or modify a wheel. Do not install a tube to correct a leak through the rim.
