2. Beadlock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beadlock

   A standard beadlock is designed to clamp the tire bead between an outer and an inner ring. The inner ring may be welded onto a standard wheel increasing wheel width by anywhere from 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 to 2 inches (3.8 to 5.1 cm) or may be formed as part of the wheel when the wheel is made in the factory. The outer ring is then bolted onto the inner ...

   Motorcycle tire changers mainly provide a simple bead loosening system and rim clamps powered manually. Certain motorcycle tire changers can accommodate wheel diameters as small as 10 inches (250 mm) and wheels at least 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches (38 mm) wide. [4] In addition, small atv wheels and tires are used on motorcycle tire changers.

6. Bead breaker - Wikipedia

   The innermost diameter of the tire that interfaces with the rim of a wheel is called the tire bead. The bead is a thicker section of rubber, and is reinforced with braided steel cables, called the bead bundle. [1] The surface of the bead creates a seal between the tire and rim on radial and bias-ply tires.

7. Tire uniformity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_uniformity

   The upper chuck lowers to make contact with the upper bead. The tire is inflated to the set point pressure. The load wheel advances to contact the tire and apply the set loading force. The spindle drive accelerates the tire to the test speed. Once speed, force, and pressure are stable, load cells measure the force exerted on the load wheel by ...
