Drag radial spinning on rim??

blwilliams · 08-13-2024, 04:12 PM

I posted this question on another forum but have not had any luck on suggestions or advice so I'll give it a shot here:

Im running a M/T 28.0 / 9.0R 3354R tire on a 3400 pound Nova. Car runs 11.70 in good air 11.90 in the summer.
I have had the issue of the slick turning on the rim.
My wife drives this car primarily and as it has became quicker and quicker I have started to have fears of the tire deflating du to the tire movement on the rim.
I have tried some RTV between bead and rim but with no success.
I tried adding rim screws, and it did stop the rotation but the car has slowed .3.
I called M/T and was told the rim screws are a bad no no on the radial tires.

Has anyone else had issues like this?
If so how/what have you done to stop it?
