LUBRICATING THE TIRE AND WHEEL When applying lubricant to the wheel, lubricate the entire wheel surface from flange to flange. Apply a liberal amount - lubricating both components will assist in the ease of the mount and will ensure proper seating of the beads on the wheel. MOUNTING THE MICHELIN X ONE TIRE ® The tire should be mounted and inflated before the lubricant dries. With the wheel short side up (narrow side), lay the tire over the wheel at the valve side and work it on with proper tubeless tire tools, making full use of the drop center well (when using a T-45 iron – use the curved end with a ledge). ® Lubricating the Tire Lubricating the Wheel Using same iron and method, mount the second bead. When mounting the second bead, keep one foot in place to keep the bead seated, and move the other foot around the tire as each part of the bead is seated to keep it in place. Padded bead keepers can be useful during the mounting process by keeping the bead fixed on the flange, thus avoiding the need to keep a foot in place. MICHELIN X One Tire Maintenance 25 ® ®
