Hoosier tires
 

When using Hoosier 30.0/9.0-15 slicks l/w radials and run them
tubless do you screw them to the rim?

I have never

I do. But just because I bought the wheels used and they already had the holes.

I've run them for years on 10" rims at 21 lbs without screws. They may move a bit initially and when I swap them side-to-side the move back a bit. Not enough to worry about and they usually settle down anyway. High HP or low tire pressures may cause issues, but just put a mark on the tire relative to the valve stem and watch for movement.

Ran Hoosier 30.0/10.0 Radial for 9 seasons going through 3 sets a season and none were ever screwed, running a 1.288 best 60 foot @ 3880 lbs.

I use them with no screws. When I mount them I really wipe the part of the rim where the bead sits real clean and dry with lacquer thinner and do the same to the tire.

They won't move although, later, when you go to dismount them you may have a little trouble breaking them loose.

I've never needed to use the screws on the 8-inch rims at 25 PSI, although I'm not running a "high-horsepower" combination. :D
