Please help... I have one tire of eight where the inside bead just won't stay on the rim... I've tried bead cement and this tire just laughs at me... I put it on and turn into the bead and I can actually hear it letting go... any thoughts... should I tube it and then screw the rubber on... I'me getting very tired of taking this one tire off and putting it back on!!! |

les if that tire is on the front or back it does a lot of sliding when turning. try moving it to the middle |

HI
I am curious on how you screw the tires to the rims? Like what type of screws & how many?
I had a problem this winter running supertracks
with the rims spinning & tearing off valve stems.
Thankyou |

well i fownd with my rims thickness and the thicknes of the bead erea on my tires that 1/2" screws wouldent penetrate threw to the inside of the tires so thats what i used, as to what kind it was eseyer for me to use self taping screws but if you wish you can drill and use sheat metel screws instead, my first expiriments i used the screws 8 on each side but it makes it tough to service the tubes so the next batch i only put them on one side to prvent rims from spining inside the tires while leaving the best entry into tire for replacing tubes as nesesary laiter, it's working good for me,
