3. Setup / Installation
Proper installation of your Kenda Klever XT tires is crucial for safety and performance. It is highly recommended to have these tires installed by a qualified professional using appropriate equipment.

- Mount the tire onto the wheel rim, ensuring proper seating of the beads.
- Inflate the tire slowly to the recommended maximum PSI (38 PSI) while ensuring both beads are fully seated. Do not exceed the maximum inflation pressure.
- Once beads are seated, adjust the tire pressure to the vehicle manufacturer's recommended operating pressure.
- Balance the wheel and tire assembly to ensure smooth operation and prevent premature wear.
Important Safety Note:
Tire mounting can be dangerous and should only be performed by trained personnel using proper tools and procedures. Failure to follow proper mounting procedures can result in serious injury or death.
