tire mounting

Fitting rubber rings

Tire mounting is the process of fitting a tire onto a wheel rim.

The task requires specialized equipment to stretch the tire bead over the rim's edge and seat it properly.

Most drivers have tires mounted at service shops: Tire mounting is included with purchase.

The term also refers to the service itself or the fee charged for it.
