The topic at hand was slick / screws


Never was tubes, slicks, screws

And , it was also do tires turn and it turned into the tires come off the rims without screws

well if you had read my post I replied to another post about somebody running tubes with out screws. I have run slicks with out screws but never with tubes in them. although I do think you get a better result with screws and safer to boot.dosn't matter how fast people have gone with out them. take a look at how many people have posted problems with out them. it only takes opnce to have a bad day.

I will stand by this

I think people run screws in sidewalls ..

Just because


Do they help performance .. ??

No idea

is is safe ???

There is NO rule that says you need to


When NHRA or IHRA demands it and there a long, long history that says they will never ..

No need

I changed to a new set of rear rims last year and was going to put screws in them ( I run my slicks tubeless and always had used screws)The guy at M/T told me Not to put the screws in, he showed me on the new rims they are now putting a safety bead to keep the tires from braking off the outside bead. Look at the new rims there is indeed a hump on the inside. He said the old spun style rims like super tricks definitly needed screws but not the new designs.

It means , tires in 2011 are not like they were in ...

And possibly , we have grown to the era that we no longer need to run screws in our rims

Hence , dry hops

Again , there is NO RULES to run screws in the beads

I bought a car with rims like this on it. But it's only on the outside bead. Guess what, all the rims screws were broke off from the previous owner, lol.

I would like to hear an engineer tell us just how many lbs of air pressure holds a tire to the bead


I am not but I'm sure it will amaze you

Sorry but I have seen tires come off the rims when
the car was sideways ... your not going to see that
occur on mine ... as to what pressure it takes...
it s a matter of which has the greater pressure...
is it the air pressure inside it or the side loading
of the tire going sideways.
