The rims of solid tires and corresponding pneumatic tires can be used interchangeably. However, the loading and unloading of solid tires and rims need to be completed on the press. To ensure the safety and accuracy of the installation process, the following rules should be followed:

1. Choose the right tire press

At present, the most commonly used tire presses are 120 tons, 200 tons, 250 tons, 300 tons, 350 tons, etc. First of all, you should choose the appropriate tire press according to your needs.

2. Inspection of tires and rims

First, check the fit between the tire and the rim. The width of the rim used by the tires of the same specification is different, and you must first confirm it when installing. The inspection of the rim includes whether the rim has defects and whether there are burrs. If there are burrs, polish them first, otherwise they may damage the inside of the tire hub and affect installation and use.

3. In order to ensure that the tire can be installed smoothly and reduce the friction with the rim, during installation, the inner surface of the tire hub and the outer surface of the rim need to be sprayed or coated with lubricant. The lubricant can be commonly used soapy water, washing powder water, etc. If possible, special lubricants for tires can be used, but oils and other common industrial lubricants must not be used, because they will swell rubber and damage the tires.

4. Place the tire horizontally on the rim, and do not deviate, otherwise it will be difficult to install, and it will swing left and right during use. The rim must be installed in place and the bolts must be tightened, otherwise the slip ring or tire rim separation may cause danger.

5. The tires of the same manufacturer and the same specification must be kept on the same vehicle, and they cannot be mixed with pneumatic tires.
