Mounting a tire is one of those tasks that can stir dread in even some of the most seasoned DIY car maintenance people. Although it is a relatively simple chore, if you don’t do it correctly, the results can be absolutely disastrous. However, with that being said, people can and do mount tires by themselves—every day. It’s time to muster up all of your confidence and diligence, then get started on the job.
As long as you follow the procedure carefully and adhere to all of the safety advice, you will be fine. In fact, you’ll probably be incredibly thrilled with yourself the first time you manage to successfully get that tire on your vehicle. It’s a point of pride, and it should be.
Once you’ve done one, after all, it will only become easier and easier. Eventually, you’ll be a tire mounting expert and you won’t even believe how intimidated you once were. All of your friends and neighbors will admire your tire talents, and you’ll feel confident to tackle pretty much any DIY project in your house or garage.
