Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which tire changers are these bumpers compatible with?
A: These PP117 replacement bumpers are specifically designed for the Performance Products PP112 (5" wheel) and PP113 (6" wheel) scissor-style tire changers.
Q: How often should I replace the bumpers on my tire changer?
A: You should inspect your bumpers regularly. If you notice deep gouges, cracking, or if the plastic has worn down to the point where the metal frame of the changer is exposed, it is time to replace them to prevent damage to your kart wheels.
Q: How do I install the new PP117 bumpers?
A: Installation is a simple swap. Remove the old, worn bumpers from the scissor arms and press the new PP117 bumpers firmly into place. Ensure they are seated securely before mounting a wheel to ensure full protection.
Q: Why is it important to use these plastic bumpers?
A: The plastic construction acts as a buffer between your metal tire changer and your delicate kart wheels. Using worn or missing bumpers can lead to dings, scratches, and cosmetic damage that may affect wheel balance and finish.
