The combined tires and wheels (for the car with steel wheels)

Tires and wheels are combined in the conditions of industrial assembly. It means that radially the most rigid part of the tire, or "the acting place", is combined with the smallest radius, or "the deepest place" of a wheel. It becomes for providing the most smooth course.

"The acting place" of the tire usually is marked by the point (1) put with paint on an external sidewall. Over time this point (1) is washed away from the tire.

"The deepest place" of a wheel is initially marked by the point (2) put with paint on the zakrayena of a rim of a wheel. At the correct assembly the point on a rim of a wheel (2) is combined with a point on the tire (1).

If the tire is removed from a wheel, then at its installation into place it has to be combined with a wheel correctly. If there is no point (1) on the tire, then before removal of the tire it is necessary to scratch tags on the tire and a wheel that at installation to combine them and to collect a wheel in a starting position.
