Tires spin on the wheel
I found that tires m/t et street rs (305/45/17) are spinning about 1-2 inches per pass on my 17x10.5 dark stars. Is there a good solution to keep them from spinning or do I need a new set of bead lock wheels? I just bought these dark stars like 6 months ago.
I am currently just cammed with 3.91 gears and 3800 stall. My buddies with higher hp dont have this problem. Wondering why I do and they do not. |

PROPER USE OF MICKEY THOMPON ET STREET R (RADIAL) AND ET STREET S/S
Bead/Wheel Slippage Some bead/wheel slippage (1/2” or less) may result during the course of a 1/4 mile (or 1/8 mile) drag race. This is normal. Check for tire slippage when you check your tire pressure after each pass. An easy way to monitor slippage is to put a small mark on tire near the bead just above the valve stem on the wheel. After a few runs, the tire should stop moving on the rim. Excessive Rim Slip If continued or excessive (more than ½” to 1”per run) wheel/slip is experienced, Mickey Thompson recommends the use of “Beadlock” wheels for ET Street Radials. Bead screws are not recommended and could lead to tire failure and or damage. The technical information provided in this document is to be used purely a guideline. Due to the many varied and different conditions to which racing tires, wheels and tubes are exposed, and because of the manner in which racing is conducted, Mickey Thompson Performance Tire makes absolutely no warranty, expressed or implied, as to the fitment for a general or particular purpose. Racing Tires are Sold As Is. http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/t...eel-assemblies

I asked about this every where I could a year ago and got lots of answers. I am now using this gasket sealer and it may be helping. Quite a few people recommended this as a solution. But I also switched from blower to twin turbo so less power at launch.

This is what worked for me.....
Take the tire off the wheel and grind the shiny surface where the bead will seal making it rough. I used a 3" air grinder with 60 grit. Only where the bead seals nothing else. Then use Permatex high tack on the bead section. Just enough to make it tacky, do not over apply as you will never get it to dry properly. Been low 1.40's with no slip since. Hopefully it works for you too.
