Radial Slicks Moving On Rim

George Mirza · 05-05-2015, 08:28 PM

I've had this same issue for years. Tires would rotate 1/2"-1" on every pass. Hoosier 30x9, 10" wheel, 20lbs of air 3200 lb car. Swapped tires from side to side and they would move back to a point, sometimes one and not the other. Tried screws, then the tires would move and leak. My next move is to scuff up the bead area of the wheels, give the tire bead something to bite on. Sandblasting suggestion is a good one, I was thinking DA and 180 grit paper.
