However no way Swap right tires for left ones and of course only if there aren't any mixed tires is installed on the vehicle.

This can be dangerous, especially at higher speeds and stronger centrifugal forces, because then the tires no longer run smoothly and the steering may become sluggish uncontrollable. Balancing is therefore essential and can prevent accidents.

You should keep this in mind when changing tires!

Put the tires on the rims and accordingly to balance is not something you can do in your garage. There are special machines and skills necessary. If you don't pay attention to this and work as a hobby mechanic on your own, you definitely risk a total loss of the tire or rim. What can usually easily be done by anyone themselves is the exchange of complete wheels, as is also the case with a Breakdown may be necessary. However, there are also a few important points to note here.

Loosening the screws should cross be performed. Even with the assembly are the screws to wear crosswise.

This is the best way to store tires!

If the tires are not mounted on the rims, you should store upright. To avoid deformation, rotate the tires a little every two weeks. Tires that stand in the same place for a whole season, i.e. for months, without being moved, get one Pressure point, where they are then flatter. This flattening can cause an imbalance, which can then be corrected by professional balancing can no longer be remedied. Complete bikes, on the other hand, can lying be stored. Here it is only important that you Increase air pressure before storage. 0,5 bar more is sufficient. The storage of complete wheels can stacked done, this is also possible with one rims tree. It is best to store the tires in a room that is cool, shaded and dry. Since no sun should get to the tires, many store their tires in the windowless basement. Here just please make sure that the tires not with oils, fats or solvents be stored together. If they come into contact with it, it can damage the tire.
