Steps for removing and installing a tire: 1. Identify the front and back sides of the tire. The sidewall usually marks 'Outside' or has the tire date facing outward; 2. Apply a small amount of tire-specific lubricant to the bead on both sides of the tire, then place the tire diagonally into the rim; 3. Fit the tire onto the wheel rim, being careful not to damage the valve stem, and then align the tire properly; 4. Install the opposite side of the tire; 5. Pay attention to the tire inflation pressure, which is usually marked on the inside of the fuel tank cap or the driver's side B-pillar; 6. After completing all installation steps, use soapy water to check for any air leaks in the tire.
