alright remove the valve core out of the tire start to fill it up and make sure u have that thing strapped down so whent he beed sets it doesnt jump up and take you out...filll it up and if u dont hear the pops meaning the beed is sealed. then let out all the air and re fill and that strap around them works as well.. push it up to around 65 psi... once u hear the beeds set let alll the air out and fill it up again to around 65 psi. so double seat the beeds .

65 psi on a slick? I don;t think so, you'll stretch the slick and car will never track straight again!!!!!!!!!!

ghostsi

they are M/T slicks and holy crap you want me to put 65psi on slick rated to not go over 35psi.

I had to seat my slicks at 80psi, les schwab, tire factory, nobody would do it, because at 65 they were freaking out. So Beau did it for me haha.

Yea donavan.. I think you should get some fancy wood screws and just screw them right through the rim into the tire, garrison style.

Having to seat a tire at 60+ is scary. Ive seen what a tire does when a damaged bead fails when its being seated.

25 psi to seat my slicks, all 4 sets.

65-80 is gonna stretch the hides, likely weaken then also.

But when your used to 6.5-8.0 psi in the Goodyears, 20 psi seems a little high!

I saw my boss get knocked out after seating a generic atv tire at 70psi. He made me do all the ones after that

Ive been a tiretech for like 3 yrs now.. I could seat that ----.. those guys are morons who wouldnt put air in it. My slicks were the same way.. lots of lube with no valve core and a shot of air.

HMT-Admin
