UK, as you have helped me today, one good turn deserves another.
If you are meaning the (usually) red dot, it should go nearest the valve, as it is the lightest point of the tyre.

I have a "manual tyre fitter" (read replace pneumatics with some elbow grease!)which you are more than welcome to use/ borrow. Breaking the bead is the hard bit which this thing does!

Simple to use, I'll stick a pic on , its really just a frame that supports and holds the wheel horizontally, so that you can use a large lever to fit or remove the tyre. |
