Tire training | Tire fitting courses

Tire fitting courses are in high demand, as are tire fitters themselves (tire fitters). Individual specialists are increasingly required for straightening and rolling discs, changing tires, and repairing them.

Universal tire fitters and tire fitters who know how to find an approach not only to cars, but also commercial vehicles, including special equipment, buses, "heavyweights" - trucks, road trains, tractors, are especially valued.

Tire fitting services are relevant in a variety of situations, for example:

  • A tire has been punctured.
  • Tire "made friends" with a nail or other sharp object.
  • Uneven tire wear detected.
  • Worried about tire imbalance.
  • It is necessary to straighten cast or steel rims, seal the rim sides.

Common mistakes in tire fitting and balancing

Responsible training in tire fitting and balancing avoids a number of mistakes, among them:

  • Wrong vehicle lift.
  • Error 1. One powerful rolling jack is used ... and the geometry of the car changes. Security and manageability are at risk.
  • Mistake 2. Two regular rhombic jacks are used. Synchronizing their work is unrealistic. But to “kill” both the lifting equipment and the vehicle at once in this way is elementary. Common breakdowns of equipment in this case are “demolished” steps, and the wings and thresholds of a car can simply “fly”.
  • "Clogging" on the marks on the tires. It's no secret that according to tire fitting technology, it is impossible to rearrange not only the rear and front tires, but also the left and right tires. This is due to the fact that the old rubber has already formed the so-called "run-in" contact spots with the roadway. If the contact patches are broken, riding becomes unsafe. But inexperienced tire fitters or those who are in a hurry and do not attach importance to this detail often, alas, ignore this point.
  • Wrong inflation pressure. You don't have to bother and download "dvoechka" on any wheels. But this is a very unprofessional tactic. Each vehicle has its own wheel inflation scheme. Most often, it is indicated by the manufacturer on the gas tank flap. By the way, an under-inflated rather than an over-inflated tire is the most dangerous, since it is a low-pressure tire that is most vulnerable to punctures, it bulges and becomes a kind of “magnet” for nails and other objects with a sharp “character” that may meet on the way.
  • Use of poorly calibrated machines. Even if the load on the balancing equipment in the workshop is not very high, it is recommended to calibrate the machines at least once a season. If the loads are serious, then the calibration frequency should be increased altogether. If calibration is not performed, accuracy, and hence the proper result when performing tire fitting work, should not be expected.

Ideally, a specialist who has undergone comprehensive training in tire fitting and wheel balancing should have the following things bounce off their “teeth”:

    • Rules, specific operation of lifting, tire fitting, balancing equipment, tools, "consumables". Including, the study of the specifics of interaction with machines, boosters for explosive tire inflation, jacks, vulcanizers, weights, harnesses, fungi for tire repair.
    • Tread and blade cutting technique.
    • Types and marking of wheels, tires.
    • Methods for diagnosing wheel defects.
    • Technology of dismantling and installation of wheels on vehicles.
    • The technology of restoring wheels (discs, tubes, tires), balancing, re-studding tires, rolling and straightening disks, including explanatory tire fitting courses - this is a mandatory training in vibration diagnostics, dynamic balancing (imbalance correction).

      Online courses

      One of the problems, if you want to get comprehensive knowledge and improve your skills in the field of tire fitting, is to find a suitable training center. Still, the direction is highly specialized, and it is not so easy to find it near the house. But thanks to modern technology, there is no need to look for tire fitting courses in Tyumen, a specific area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe vast St. Petersburg, or even more so Moscow. You can purchase access to the electronic interactive program Tires, wheels and tire fitting on the ELECTUDE platform. Classes are available from anywhere in Russia, and not only in Russia, but also in other countries (the course organizers have representative offices in Belarus, Kazakhstan, Ukraine).

      The software product is focused on modular learning. The program includes 16 training modules. Particular emphasis is placed on the arrangement of vehicle wheels, service operations, including maintenance and operation of discs, tires, tire pressure monitoring system. Estimated time for studying the material is 10 hours. But please note: this is an average time. Everyone can work at the most convenient rhythm for themselves and master the program at a more intensive or “stretched” pace.

      In addition, it is important to understand that this is not just training, but a comprehensive certification system. Therefore, service station training centers have every opportunity to not only train specialists, but also organize an objective assessment of their competencies, and select worthy personnel for the tire repair area.

      Certification system, “sharpened” for tire fitting, is 15 special test modules. The total time for passing the certification is 3 hours.
