How good does weatherstrip glue work in holding a tire to the rim?
I know somebody has tried that. How did that go? Thanks
7 passes, and zero movement. Looks like I am good without screws! Thanks for replies gang!

Been using permatex high tack for years on Dart with 60 fts in the 1.20s Lots of other cars too. Used to mark the tire and watch it. Now I dont even bother because they dont move.

Bias or radial tires? Same thing on the OP The tire pressure will make a huge differences on when they move or don't I use to mark my rims and tires at the tire valve and swap sides on both types of tires tubeless with no screws, The bias tires would move some at first and then move back when swapped to the other side. I don't remember the radials moving very much at all either side or either way I never tried adhesives on any of my tires , I have a old all mechanical tire machine that I mount all my slicks on, I inflate them to between 20 to 30 lbs. and let them sit overnight or longer before putting them on the car to seat the tires as well as stretch the carcasses as much as possible before measuring the circumferences and adjusting the pressures to get the same circumferences within 1/4 inch of each other

Ive used Hi-Tack for a few sets now with good results. Remember when you apply to put a thin coat on the tire, and on the rim. Let it set up for at least a few minutes. Most report a little initial movement to set the tire, then solid after that.

I have run Goodyear bias slicks down to 7.5 psi with no screws or adhesive. I marked them for reference, and they have not moved. My 60 ft. times are low 1.30 s.

Doug, you will like it. The new owner has made a ton of improvements, and next year it will be a new facility. Track has tons of bite now.
