Tire spinning on rim need help!!!!!

take them back and have the guys that installed them "glue: them to the rim. ( they will use a black rubber cement) let dry for atleast 8 hours
This should help
oh, and before they do this make sure they clean the wheel and tire with something that will give you a nice clean surface

now you know why those other drag cars have bead screws
How do you know thay are spinning on the wheel rim? Did you catch it on film or something? I
f they are spiining its probably because the air pressure is to low in the tire to keep the tire seated to the rim.

do you have stock rims? if so have the person putting your tires on install them"DRY"this will help cure tire spin but it just a bandaid the only sure fire way is to screw the tire to the FACTIOD; each time the tire "slips" you take a chance of losing some air if not all of it (and you know how dangerous that can be)
if it was me I would consider screwing the tire, if you have stock rims and don't want to mess them up pick up another set just for track duty

I'm not sayin',
I'm just sayin'.
A set of cheapo steelies is way easier to drill through anyway.

You can tell the tires are spinning by marking the wheel and tire with paint or a marker. if the tire spins - the marks separate.
Damn...I learn something new every day !! :beer:
I kno this kid and when we went to moroso we marked the rim and tire to check to see if the tire was spinning on the rim. After the first run they spun an 1inch from the first spot. His car is super tough, it ran a 12.0@116. I think he has to much HP. Thats my opinion.
I had the same problem on stock rims and 315 Nittos.
I would mark the tire using the valve stem for reference.
It took more than a few burnouts but it stopped spinning the tires on the rims.

I am afaid that the tires will pop the bead and come apart I am running 32lbs and they still spin. I guess i will have to glue them. Thanx all
No they won't pop off the rim even at 17 pounds

Ive heard that people use Indian Head Gasket Glue. Has anybody had a chance to use this stuff.
360R is the toughest guy I know he knows everything about cars, I will take his advise.
