2. Tire changer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_changer

   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.

3. Tire balance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_balance

   Tire balance is measured in factories and repair shops by two methods: with static balancers and with dynamic balancers. Tires with large unbalances are downgraded or rejected. When tires are fitted to wheels at the point of sale, they are measured again on a balancing machine , and correction weights are applied to counteract their combined ...

   Michelin also introduced a similar tire in the mid-1990s called the Zero Pressure System, and the ZP designator differentiates this type of run flat tire from a conventional tire. Such tires required the introduction of a Tire Pressure Monitoring System , sensors and instrumentation in the car, which would indicate to the driver a condition of ...

5. Bead breaker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bead_breaker

   A tire bead is held in the groove by air pressure. A bead breaker is a tool used for separating tires from rims. 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]

6. Tire-pressure monitoring system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire-pressure_monitoring...

   A tire-pressure monitoring system (TPMS) monitors the air pressure inside the pneumatic tires on vehicles. [1] A TPMS reports real-time tire-pressure information to the driver, using either a gauge, a pictogram display, or a simple low-pressure warning light. TPMS can be divided into two different types – direct (dTPMS) and indirect (iTPMS).

7. Beadlock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beadlock

   A beadlock or bead lock is a mechanical device that secures the bead of a tire to the wheel of a vehicle. Tires and wheels are designed so that when the tire is inflated, the tire pressure pushes the bead of the tire against the inside of the wheel rim so that the tire stays on the wheel and the two rotate together.
