Re: slick problem at the track
 

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 .

Re: slick problem at the track
 

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

Re: slick problem at the track
 

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

Re: slick problem at the track
 

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.

Re: slick problem at the track
 

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

Re: slick problem at the track
 

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!

Re: slick problem at the track
 

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

Re: slick problem at the track
 

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. :y

Re: slick problem at the track
 

yup, thats how we did it.. massive lube, half a bottle of trans prep ;)

Re: slick problem at the track
 

yea same here butter tht sht up good and filll that ---- and if u happe to have a cheata laying around or able to use it then rock that fucker
