Radia slick mounting.

Just clean the tire and wheel's bead with acetone and mount them DRY!

Been running radial slicks since 2000 this way, 60 foot 1 teens now and the tires won't move on the rim after the first few hits

Yes, lots of good information. I never heard that about radial slicks, I'm glad I asked too. FED 387, thank you for explaining.
