Tires are definitely at the top of the list when it comes to the handling and performance of your vehicle. This is why it's important to ensure proper mounting.
I like to use an older magnetic mat to lay out my tires and products. The older mat comes in handy. I do not have to worry about staining or getting glue on the newer ones.
MOO-Kleen Cleaner And Degreaser is perfect to prep your tires. Just spray some on your shop towel or microfiber towel and wipe the bead clean. This will get rid of the release agent to ensure proper adhesion to the wheel.
Tire bands can be used to keep the tires nice and secure while gluing.
You can use a Sharpie to mark your tire just to make a reference point from where you started gluing. This is to ensure you glue all the way around your tire.
Ultra Cure Tire Glue is of a medium consistency. This is my preference, although some may choose the thin. I chose the medium because It doesn't dry as quick and allows for adjustments, in case your tire isn't mounted as desired. Use the supplied pin cap and glue all the way around the bead.
A few squirts of Insta Set can be sprayed into a small container and placed over the glued tire. The contained fumes will produce a quicker cure time. Repeat this process on both sides of the tire. Use a towel to wipe off any excess.
These few easy steps will keep your rubber on the wheels!
