How do they match: Tire Repairers and Changers

  • Place tire casings and tread rubber assemblies in tire molds for the vulcanization process and exert pressure to ensure good adhesion.
  • Roll new rubber treads, known as camelbacks, over tire casings and mold the semi-raw rubber treads onto the buffed casings.
  • Separate tubed tires from wheels, using rubber mallets and metal bars or mechanical tire changers.
