Default Re: Radial Slicks Moving On Rim

I'm on my 5 or 6th set of Hoosier Radials and have never had an issue. For curiosity, I put a paint mark on the tire that aligns with the valve stem on the last set. After about 70 runs you can see how much they have moved - not much at all. For the record - this is a 3400 LB A/SA Max-Wedge 64 Plymouth - mounted on 10" Weld Wheels w/ no special work on the bead - no adhesives - but always run with 21+ pounds of air pressure.

As referenced by others, I think the wheel width and higher air pressure are the key.
