Sealey STS01 Folding Wheel Step

Product Information

The reinforced sidewalls will be weakened and the tyre cannot be used safely in an emergency situation. A foot pump is a low-tech (and very slow) alternative, but is a handy tool for inflating tyres at home. I think he means that the castor angle (I think that's right) causes the insides to wear on slow speed manoevers. They usually have holes, notches, or indentations for the jack that is provided with the vehicle, to fit perfectly.

To ensure your safety and optimise the performance of your bike on the roads, it is recommended to replace tires as a matched set. What you prefer to use will largely be down to personal preference and likely dictated by your temperament – is stopping for five minutes to fix a tube properly and enjoying the view an opportunity to be relished or an unwanted distraction? If the tyre is particularly tight, avoid the temptation to use a tyre lever to push the last section of the tyre onto the rim – you’ll almost certainly pinch your inner tube doing so.

Jack: A jack is used to lift the vehicle off the ground, allowing you to remove and install the tyres.

The only thing worse than getting a puncture is when you go to fit the spare and discover that it has also gone flat.Flat tyres could also be caused by your driving habits, for example driving in areas where there is lots of debris on the road (such as near construction sites) or in off-road locations (if your car is not equipped for off-road driving). A tyre repair kit will often get you out of immediate trouble but is no good for holes larger than about 4mm.

Do inspect the tyre: Before starting the process, closely examine the tyre for any visible damage, such as cracks, cuts, bulges, or excessive wear. Always follow the recommended tyre pressure specified by the motorcycle manufacturer, which can usually be found in the user manual or on a placard on the bike.For instance, if the front-left tyre is damaged, the chock should be positioned behind the rear-right tyre. There’s no set PSI at which a tyre will definitely explode but generally anything between 150 PSI and 200 PSI could see your tyre blow.
