Beadlocks!?

A Phoenix tires engineer doesn't recommend them for cars under 700hp, he recommends a good quality wheel. Make sure to measure the circumference of the wheel where it will meet the tire(the shoulder) sometime poor quality can have a variance in between both wheel causing slipping. I find a little sanding or cross hatching will cause better sealing and remember the best trick from the race tire industry for leaking drag slicks is to wash them with dish soap with a rag in the interior.Claude Ruel
