  • i think it's because the manufacturers want to assure that their tires are good

  • Interesting. I would have assumed that the teams mounted their own tires.

  • just a static balance ?

  • aluminum wheels benefit from a non-corrosive paste rather than soap and water when mounting tires. It prevents the coating from wearing away and exposing the bare metal which can cause leaks. They don't use this at wal-mart.

  • special paste..... thats soapy water lol

  • They use butane to bead it

  • @b1tyres

    It is called tyre soap though! You can mount a tyre with fairy liquid or hand soap if you have no tyre soap to hand anyway, there is nothing special about it.

  • Grow up people!!

    PS interesting vid

  • @smokndrew What does this have to do with motogp tires?

  • @NorbPwn i know i didnt have anything to do with it but every man and woman in my family have had some connection with the military and the U.S. HAS THE FINEST IN THE WORLD GODD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!
