I was told the radial tire has different construction on the bead then biasply slicks.

I have been told that the yellow body panel glue works well. But I never had a issue when I was running them. I'm back to non-radials. Less issues at my home track.

RTV wont help.

I know someone who has used VHT on the rims when fitting tyres and never had any spinning on the rim (32 x 14 slicks). The only disadvantage is removing the tyres how well they stick and then cleaning the VHT before fitting the new tyres. He has done it for many years before his new car having beadlock rims.

However, for any radial, I would look at Beadlocks to clamp them properly. Making sure you specify which tyres you are using when your order the rims as M/T and Goodyear have different bead thicknesses and I know Billet Specialties offer different beadlock rings for the different tyres.
