Re: Radial tire chatter
Quote:
My truck is a '68 GMC shortbed 1/2 ton that weighs 4000 lbs. It has a pump gas 540, turbo 400, ford 9", ladder bars , alston shocks in the rear, Q1's in the front.. It runs high 10's but I'd like to get it down to DGas times. In perfect weather it has gone 10:70 with the radials. I'm going to miss the Heritage race this weekend cause I didn't have any time to service it or change tires. But, in 2 weeks we have another Heritage race in Vegas and I just have to figure out if I need to change tires or suspension setup. By the way, those are impressive times from your ride.

Re: Radial tire chatter
you have a section width of 13.1, on a 10 inch rim. i would start at 18 psi, and go up not down in tire pressure. best of luck.

Re: Radial tire chatter
Floyd,
Do you run inner tubes? I have a 3000 lbs 64 Nova in Super Street, Leaf springs and slapper bars. I was having problems with the same thing and a good friend of mine with a 71 El Camino told me to put tubes in. He had the same problem and after over $4000.00 in changes he put the tubes in and problem solved. I run a Hoosier 28x10.5wx15 with inner tubes and no problem.... Except i lost a axle this weekend!!!! I run 13 pounds of air in the rear. car hooks great Hope this might help

Re: Radial tire chatter
Lee, no, I don't run tubes. I've always run MT's tubeless and never had a problem. I have softer springs coming and I'm going to up the air pressure for the coming Heritage Race in Vegas. If I can get another set of wheels before before the first of May I will take the bias tires also just in case. I'm also going to crank up the shocks.
Floyd By the way, thanks DJ, I'm going to try the 18 lbs.
