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
Do what ever floats your boat... I KNOW my tire cant pop of the beads.... but then again I run tubes and alot dont believe the tube helps... AGAIN to each their own

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.
Easy on the dry hops boys !!

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
AGAIN.... what ever floats your boat... its your car you do with it as you please... I'll take care of mine

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.

Guys run bead locks also when not needed... is it for safety.... it is for me.... I KNOW my tire isnt popping off the bead on the hit or if my car gets loose off the line going sideways

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.
You better start screwing those front tires too
then
