WARNING Some replacement tires may adversely affect handling and cause an accident resulting in serious injury or death. To ensure proper handling and stability, use only the recommended standard tires for replacement, inflated to the standard pressure. |
NOTICE
Replace the air valve whenever the tire is replaced.
Do not reuse the air valve.
Remove the valve cap, lubricate the stem seal [A] with a soap and water solution or rubber lubricant, and pull [B] the valve stem through the rim from the inside out until it snaps into place.

If the rim flanges and tire sidewall rim lines are not parallel, remove the valve core.
Inflate the tire slightly above standard inflation.
Use a soap and water solution or submerge the tire, and check for bubbles that would indicate leakage.
