• A large selection of tyres is available to suit all types of motorsport competition

• Check wheel width and diameter are correct for tyre size being fitted

• Avoid damage to the bead area
• Ensure alloy wheels are not porous. (This is less of a problem with modern alloys)
• Follow ALL Safety procedures for bead seating and inflation
