WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2021 MINI Cooper, 2020 MINI Cooper, 2019 MINI Cooper, 2018 MINI Cooper, and 2017 MINI Cooper. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Optimize the tire bead 1 fit on the inside and the outer side after inflating the tire
- Gently press in the tire sidewall and the wheel rim with the tire bead breaker 2.
- Rotate the wheel.
- Balance the tires.
The tire bead must lie flush against the wheel rim without air pockets. This optimizes the smooth running of the tire.
The air between the tire and wheel rim leakages.
