slick problem at the track
Well i have a pair of slicks that were new mounted on some ghetto rims. I put air in them and drove to the track and put them on. I lowered the tire pressure to about 12psi on each tire and made a pass. at the end of the pass i was making my turn and the tire fell off the rim. I took the tire to my local tire shop and they would not put air in to see if there was a leak or anything they sent me packing. if you look at the tire on the inside it is all folded under i cannot get the thing to hold air.
Is this slick still good? do i just need to try a different tire shop?

I had my first taste of slicks last weekend, it was so fun I fried my clutch doing burnouts, I was using road racing slicks, I remember someone saying they are shitty, they felt great to me, those things hook and go until the clutch slips, but I loved them.

LOL have no idea dave. I do not have bread in my garage tho. My car is not that low. it is a standard 1.5inch drop. I am a noob with slicks. That was my 1st time ever using them. I may try the rebeading trick. i tried to use a long screwdriver and pop the inerside of the tire back out but it would not stay.

Your gonna have to get the bead reseated before trying to add air.
Old school, yet dangerous/fun, starter fluid inside the tire and toss a match at the tire.
Saw it on TV when they run low tire pressure (3-4 psi) on the artic ice.
Rock crawlers do it also.
