Hoosiers/wheels

RJ · 04-09-2009, 05:38 PM

Hoosier lists the section width of the 18212 9x30 drag radial at 11.3" with an 8" wheel. I called them to see what the section would go to with a 10" wheel, but they didn't know. Anyone here have an idea? - Also, is there a particular brand wheel that won't slip with this tire?, the 18212's on my dad's car move about 1/2" a run, and I'd rather not have to deal with that.

Thanks

Based on the fact that the beads move out 1" per side while the tread end doesn't, I would guesstimate that the section width would grow by about 1/2" per side.

It's been a while since I actually marked and measured any slippage on the rim, but from what I recall, after a couple of races, the movement became minimal or stopped. I do swap the wheel/tire assembly from side-to-side betyween events. Air pressure will be a factor. I run about 21 lbs in my lightweight 9" Hoosier radials on 10" Holeshot wheels.

RJ,
I have Hoosier 9x30 Lightwieght 94" rollout tires on 10" Crager wheels and they are 11.75" wide. I have the same problem with them slipping on the rim. My guess is it's the bead surface on the wheel, some rims they don't move at all. Rim screws solved the problem.
