Default Re: Drag radial spinning on rim??

I have run many sets of radial slicks mostly Hoosiers. The last 3 years I started running M/T PBRs.

It doesn't matter the brand; they move on the wheel & take no set. It happens if the tire is mounted with lube or clean tire beads & wheel beads with brake clean. It doesn't matter if the wheel is used or new (Weld Wheels).

The Hoosier's are easy enough to rotate (non-directional) to help maintain balance. The M/T's are directional & may need to be re-balanced or moved back to their original mounting/balance position.

I bought new wheels with beadlocks to use with the PBRs & have a set of Hoosier's mounted on traditional Weld wheels for spares.

Racers can do as they wish. The one thing I will not do is use wheel screws with radials.
