Because I can never get a pair of Pheonix tires to hold air, I bought tubes. Problem is the Moroso screws which are 1/4" X 3/4" are too long and I dont want to pop my new tubes. I tried grinding the ends off a couple screws but really need the pointy end to penetrate the bead... even tried pilot holes with the long screw but they wont grab the tire and dont want to strip out the screw hole in the rim.

I am sure I am not the first one to deal with this, what did you guys do?
