Protective polyethylene inserts for tire changer jaws — long-lasting, machine-safe protection Key benefits Prevent wheel rim damage: These plastic inserts clamp onto the jaws of tire mounting machines to protect rims from scratches and dings during mounting and demounting. Preserve rim integrity: Soft polyethylene contact reduces cosmetic and structural wear on alloy and coated wheels. Extend machine life and reduce costs: Protects clamped surfaces and reduces the need for wheel repairs or replacement of machine components. What they are High-quality plastic inserts with polyethylene sheathing designed specifically for use with tire mounting machines. Engineered to provide a secure, protective barrier between the machine jaws and the wheel rim. Function and compatibility Designed for tire changer machines: Made to fit and cover the jaws of coated tire mounting machines, offering reliable protection while operating standard tire changers. Secure fit: Inserts clamp onto the jaws to stay in place during normal machine operation and provide consistent coverage of contact points. Material and performance Polyethylene coating: Durable and abrasion-resistant polyethylene provides a smooth, non-marring surface that resists wear and maintains protection over time. Built for long-term use: Constructed from materials chosen for durability under repeated clamping cycles and workshop conditions. How to use Clip the inserts onto the tire changer jaws so the polyethylene faces the wheel rim. Use them during mounting and demounting operations to maintain a protective layer between the metal jaws and the wheel surface. Remove for cleaning or replacement as needed. Typical applications Professional tire shops: Protect customers’ alloy and coated wheels during routine tire changes and balancing. Mobile tire service: Prevent damage during roadside or on-site tire changes where wheels are frequently clamped and handled. Home or small garage workshops: Add a protective layer when using a tire changer to avoid accidental scratches on seasonal or aftermarket wheels. Why choose these inserts Specifically designed for tire mounting machines and coated jaws, providing a tailored solution for preventing wheel damage. Durable polyethylene construction offers a non-marring surface that withstands repeated use without compromising grip or machine function. Note: Designed to fit coated tire mounting machines and to attach to the machine jaws; follow your machine manufacturer’s guidelines for fit and safe use.
