Re: Radia slick mounting.
Are rim screws not suggested with Hoisers, by wheel manufactor or just in general by other racers?

Re: Radia slick mounting.
DEFINATELY no rim screws with radials---because of the way the tire sidewalls are constructed if the tire moves and the screw breaks it will cut the bead up a recipe for disaster--- use bead locks or nothing at all-- a little slippage is normal on a radial--entirely different construction than a bias tire --ask the manufacturers or spend some time online see what is recommended

Re: Radia slick mounting.
Just clean the tire and wheel's bead with acetone and mount them DRY!
Been running radial slicks since 2000 this way, 60 foot 1 teens now and the tires won't move on the rim after the first few hits |

Re: Radia slick mounting.
Yes, lots of good information. I never heard that about radial slicks, I'm glad I asked too. FED 387, thank you for explaining.
