1/8 in. (3.2 mm), and that each

bead does not vary more than 1/8

in. (3.2 mm) around the

circumference or from one bead

to the other. Measurements

exceeding 1/8 in. (3.2 mm)

require unseating tire beads,

relubricating tire beads and

remounting tire, or serious injury

or death may result when tire is

removed from safety cage.
