Mounting your car tyres by our experts
When the wear of a tyre is too significant, you have to mount a new tyre and get rid of the old one. It is recommended to have your tyres mounted by a professional because he will work with specific machines and tools, and will fit tyres on the same axis.
It is better to fit the new tyres at the rear because they wear out more quickly. Indeed, the rear tyres maintain the trajectory of the vehicle.
- Check the consistency between the dimensions of the wheel and the tyre to be mounted (width and diameter)
- Lubricate the wheels
- Make the inflation so the wheels are properly applied against the edges of the rim
- Set the pressure determined by the vehicle manufacturer and the tyre manufacturer.
Balancing and alignment of your car tyres
Balancing tyres consists in distributing the weight of the wheel in a precise and uniform way. It is to place counterweights on the rims while alignment enables to position the wheels parallel to each other and in the axis of the road.

Car tyre maintenance and repair
Have you punctured your car tyre?
At Point S, we inspect your flat tyre and fix it if possible. Indeed, depending on the type of puncture, we propose to fix your car tyre which is a more economical solution. We will disassemble the tyre from your care to inspect the condition of the puncture.
For instance, it will not be possible to fix your flat tyre if the perforation is exceeding 6 mm or ¼ inch, if the internal structure of your tyre has been damaged after a long driving distance, or if your car has remained parked for a long time. Moreover, the hole must be located on the thread and not on the side or on the rounded corner of the tyre (called shoulder).
Remember that tyres are the only contact you have with the road so they must always be safe. Ask for advices to your Point S centre in Abidjan.
