For your motor vehicle's safety and all-around performance, you should have tires installed by a trained technician. The proper installation allows your tires to function as intended and allows good mileage. You don't have to worry about time because a tire installation typically takes around 1 hour. After the technicians at B & L Automotive help you pick out suitable tires for your vehicle, we can have them correctly installed: A proper installation entails:
- Examining the lugs or bolts
- Installing new rubber valve stems (if needed)
- Mounting the tires
- Balancing the tires
- Tightening the wheel lugs to the recommended torque
- Checking the TPMS system
The Steps
When you need your tires replaced, the technician will usually follow these steps below:
- The car, SUV, or truck is placed on a mount to be lifted off the ground.
- The technician will unbolt the lug nuts from each wheel to completely remove the wheels from the vehicle.
- They will proceed to deflate the old tires and install a new stem core if needed.
- The tech will inspect the rims for signs of damage or rust and make any adjustments if required.
- Once the rims check out, they will use a tire machine to install the rims on the new tires.
- The mechanic will ensure they are properly inflated based on the recommended pressure specifications.
- Afterward, the wheel is balanced and reinstalled back onto the vehicle.
