Caution

There is a risk of damaging tires with strong heat.

Never heat the tires with a heater or a hot air gun.

Warm tires with warm water or warm air (maximum 50 °C).
The optimum mounting temperature of a tire is between 15 °C and 30 °C on the inside of the tire. The temperature of the tire surface during the warm-up phase should not be considered as the interior temperature of the tire.
  • Store cold tires one day before installing in the workshop on an insulated surface a wood pallet or something similar. Store the tires separately so that the surrounding air can warm them quickly.

Warm-Up Time for Urgent Cases

Tires with an interior temperature over 0 °C: minimum of two hours at minimum 19 °C Tires with an interior temperature under 0 °C: minimum of two and a half hours at minimum 19 °C
  • Clean up condensation occasionally with a cloth.
