Tyre damage - caused while removing/mounting tyres
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Porsche Macan and 2015 Porsche Macan. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When mounting tubeless tyres, check the sealing face of the tyre and the disc wheel for cleanliness and any signs of damage. Bear in mind here that the bead base performs the sealing function on tubeless tyres. When mounting the tyre beads, use only the specified tyre mounting pastes. The following can occur if an unsuitable mounting paste is used:
- Twisting of the tyre on the rim.
- Fracture of the bead bundle during mounting and if the seating pressure is too high.
- Damage to the tyre bead.
- Damage to the rim surface by aggressive substances.
