9 on 10

When I was going to try the TOYO tires the rep I talked to recommended no bigger than a 9" rim. He said the sidewall was made to work on a narrower rim. When I raced my car I never had rim screws and it was a stick shift 3205lbs 7000rpm launch 3.19 first gear 5.57 rear. It would move the tire an inch or so every 6 passes then I would swap sides.

I wish I knew that before I bought these 10 inch rims. These weren't easy to find.

I talked to a Toyo distributor when they had the 2 for 1 sale and he cautioned me that a lot of the tires were 2-4 years old.

These are 07's, if you go by the last 2 digits. They didn't hook worth a damn tonight. Some of the problem is the track, but it's mostly me.

Ron, you could also try a compound called bead sealer that tire shops use. It is a tar like compound that is sticky and works well to keep tires from moving at all. it is messy to put on but easy clean-up once it dries. you just have to resist the urge to wipe it up while it is still wet. comes as brush-in-can like anti-seize compound.

Hoosier also says no wider that 10" wheels for my 10.5" radials, but 11.5" wheels made it a new car. I have mentioned that to two different Hoosier reps, both seemed very surprised. Absoluty no more "radial wobble". It's quicker, faster and likes more air in the tires.
