Oil and Gasoline

Prolonged contact with oil or gasoline causes contamination of the rubber compound making the tire unsuitable for use. Wipe off any oil or gasoline immediately with a clean rag.

Do not use any tire that has been exposed to oil, gasoline, corrosives or other non-rubber compatible liquids.

Tire Mounting

Danger: Only specially trained persons should mount tires. Improper tire mounting can cause tire explosion and serious injury.

Follow these mounting precautions:

Wear approved eye protection.

Clean and lubricate beads and rim.

Centralize rim band and tube to prevent pinching if tube-type rim.

Note directional arrows on sidewall where applicable.

Lock assembly on mounting machine or place in safety cage.

Set air hose relief valve at 40 psi.

Use extension gauge and hose with clip-on air chuck--stand back with no part of your body within the perimeter of the assembled tire and rim.

Inflate with core in valve stem.

Never inflate above 40 psi to seat beads. *

Spin wheel to check bead seating and alignment.

* If the beads do not seat by 40 psi, deflate and repeat above procedure. Never use a volatile substance or rubber "donut" to aid bead seating. If tubed, deflate and reinflate after seating to prevent tube wrinkles. Never mount passenger car tires on motorcycle rims.

For 15" motorcycle replacement tires: Never mount on a 15" diameter passenger car tire rim. Mount only on a 15 M/C motorcycle rim. These passenger car and motorcycle rims actually differ in diameter.

Never mount passenger car tires on motorcycle rims.

K181 PT bead lock tires may only be mounted on matching Harley-Davidson FXRP rims. See special tread label mounting instructions.
