In this episode of Wheel-End Wisdom, we break down why proper wheel mounting and concentric bead seating are essential for safety, ride quality, and tire longevity. We discuss common mounting mistakes, how small misalignments lead to vibration and wear, and why tools like stud and hub cleaner, and the TIA R.I.S.T. Method, are critical for getting it right.

You’ll also learn how proper mounting impacts balancing, torque retention, and overall wheel-end health, plus where solutions like EQUAL FLEXX fit into the process.
