Tyre fitting typically involves several steps and services to ensure a new tyre is properly installed and balanced on a car. The specific process may vary slightly according to the service provider, but here are the common steps involved in tyre fitting:

1. Removal of the old tyre: The technician begins by detatching the old tyre from the wheel rim. Normally, this is done using specialized equipment and tools.

2. Inspection: Once the old tyre is removed, the technician will inspect the wheel rim for just about any damage or corrosion that could affect installing the new tyre. They will also check the valve stem for proper functionality.

3. Mounting the new tyre: The technician will mount the new tyre onto the wheel rim. That is done carefully to make sure that the tyre is seated correctly and aligned with the rim.

4. Balancing: Following the new tyre is mounted, the technician will balance it. Balancing involves attaching small weights to the wheel rim to counterbalance any irregularities in the tyre or wheel assembly. This helps prevent vibrations and ensures a smoother ride.

5. Inflation: The technician will then inflate the new tyre to the recommended pressure levels specified by the vehicle manufacturer. This ensures optimized performance and safety.

6. Valve replacement: If necessary, the valve stem may be replaced with a fresh someone to ensure proper air retention.

7. Torqueing: The wheel nuts or bolts are tightened to the correct torque specification to secure the wheel assembly.

8. Inspection and final checks: The technician will perform a visual inspection of the installed tyre, making certain everything looks proper and there are no visible issues. They may also conduct a short test drive to make certain the vehicle handles properly and there are no unusual vibrations.

It’s important to note that tyre fitting services could also include additional options or services, such as tyre disposal, wheel alignment checks, or valve cap replacements. The specific inclusions may vary depending on service provider and any additional services you request.
