Filling/inflating tire

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Remove all fitting aids.

IMPORTANT: Possibilities for safely securing the wheel or incorporation in inflation apparatus should be utilized!
Observe instructions/conditions of trade association.
Observe national/country-specific regulations.

Inflate with air (without valve insert).

Increase pressure up to 3.3 bar in stages (jumping pressure).
If the tire bead does not slip fully past the rim edge all round, do not under any circumstance increase the pressure.
If necessary, release air and force off tire bead again.
Coat rim flange and tire again with tire fitting paste.
Inflate tire again up to 3.3 bar.
When tire beads are resting perfectly on rim shoulders, increase inflation pressure to max. 4.0 bar (settling pressure) to "settle" the tire.

Screw in valve insert and correct tire pressure.

Observe notes/instruction on initializing the RUN FLAT INDICATOR (RPA) or RDC (USA=TPM).

IMPORTANT: Advise the customer to avoid heavy acceleration and heavy braking in the initial period.
The tire fitting paste can cause the tire to turn on the rim and give rise to imbalance.
