  • Tips to Balance Alloy Wheel Tyres and Refurbishing
    Jul 30, 2013 17:58 IST Tips To Balance Alloy Wheel Tyres and Refurbishing The comfort and safety of the vehicle depends on the maintenance of the tyres. Tires are quite an expensive investment so it is important to maintain and keep them well balanced to ensure a longer tread life. Well balanced tires also ensure smooth and better tracking operation. Most of the heavy vehicles manufactured in the earlier days were strong enough to dampen the vibrations caused during drives. However, the modern cars are equipped with light weight chassis which makes it quite susceptible to even the smallest intolerances such as vibrations. This explains the reason why alloy wheels need to be balanced accurately so that it offers better performance and longer durability. Alloy wheels are basically light in weight due to its unique construction designs. The magnificent wheels can be balanced perfectly for a safe and smooth drive. Important Steps to Follow: First park the car on a flat ground and loosen the lug nuts of the wheel rims using a tire iron. Make use of a floor jack to raise the vehicle off the ground without taking the wheels off completely. Suspend the car fully with the use of jack stands. Then remove the lug nuts and the all the four wheels. Clean the tires using soapy water and a brush. Residues of paint, cement and tar can be removed by using lacquer thinner. Set up a bubble balance machine for the process of balancing the alloy wheels. View the bubble through the window gauge. Adjust the knobs to ensure that the bubbles are in the middle of the cross hair.

  • Aircraft Tire Data
    Aircraft tire Engineering Data Introduction Michelin manufactures a wide variety of sizes and types of tires to the exacting standards of the aircraft industry. The information included in this Data Book has been put together as an engineering and technical reference to support the users of Michelin tires. The data is, to the best of our knowledge, accurate and complete at the time of publication. To be as useful a reference tool as possible, we have chosen to include data on as many industry tire sizes as possible. Particular sizes may not be currently available from Michelin. It is advised that all critical data be verified with your Michelin representative prior to making final tire selections. The data contained herein should be used in conjunction with the various standards ; T&RA1, ETRTO2, MIL-PRF- 50413, AIR 8505 - A4 or with the airframer specifications or military design drawings. For those instances where a contradiction exists between T&RA and ETRTO, the T&RA standard has been referenced. In some cases, a tire is used for both civil and military applications. In most cases they follow the same standard. Where they do not, data for both tires are listed and identified. The aircraft application information provided in the tables is based on the most current information supplied by airframe manufacturers and/or contained in published documents. It is intended for use as general reference only. Your requirements may vary depending on the actual configuration of your aircraft. Accordingly, inquiries regarding specific models of aircraft should be directed to the applicable airframe manufacturer.

  • Tireballs ATV Accessories & Part Installation Instructions
    Quick Guide to Motorcycle Tire Ball™ Installation 1) Rim Preparation. Remove the loose rim strip or duct tape covering the spoke nipples. Inspect and de-burr any sharp edges of spokes or nipples that may be present in the interior surface of the rim. Install an adhesive backed rim liner. If you use duct tape make sure it does not cover the tire bead seating area of the rim. 2) Install a loose valve stem in the rim hole. This will keep debris outside the rim and can help seat the bead by pressurizing the tire through the valve stem. 3) Lubricate the inside of the tire carcass and the surface of each Tire Ball. You may use either the aerosol or liquid silicone lubricant. We find that the pure liquid silicone oil (included in the installation kit) lasts longer and offers the best lubrication. 4) Install a quick clamp onto the tire side- wall so that it projects into the interior of the tire carcass to use as a backstop for the insertion of Tire BallsTM. 5) Insert fully inflated Tire Balls™ into the tire carcass pressing them against the quick clamp. Make sure that the inflation inserts are all facing the same direction. 6) Install as many Tire Balls™ into the tire carcass as will fit. Typically, the number required will be 35-38 Tire Balls™ in a front (in kit of 40) and 24-28 in a rear tire (in kit of 30) 7) If you intend to raise the pressure above the preset psig, then bring each ball up to the final pressure gradually, alternating between every other ball, much as you would torque a cylinder head, using the inflation regulator and pressure gauge.
