Tire technicians assess the condition of tires. If a tire is worn or damaged, they repair or replace it. They dismantle the old tires and wheels and mount new ones using a tire mounting machine. Once they have mounted new tires, they inflate them and clean the rims, tires, and, if desired, the entire vehicle. Their tasks also include balancing the wheels, which compensates for the imbalance – an unequal distribution of mass on the rotating wheel.Tire technicians are also responsible for the proper storage of summer and winter tires. Additionally, they perform simple inspection and service tasks on the vehicle. They check the steering, brakes, exhaust, and exterior lighting for visible damage and measure the levels of oil, brake fluid, battery fluid, and other liquids. They work precisely and focused, as assembly errors can have serious consequences.
