So you stretch the tire with air pressure to match the set. Now after a few passes (each pass) when the rollout changes, how do you adjust? Air pressure again?

Hi, i have been enjoying the videos. The torque spec must specify the use of anti-seize? I am used to passenger cars where I am encouraged not to use anti seize on bolts as it will effect the torque value. Thanks

Do you have any tips for Radials ? And it would by nice if you could teach us about tire compounds (wich compound for which car and track conditions) and the difference between M/T or Goodyear or Hossier tires :) Thanks ! Greetings from germany

@ldnwholesale8552 7 жыл бұрын

Horses for courses. Track, weather, power output. Both Goodyear and Hoosier really only have limited no of heat cycles before they have nothing. But both are very good tyres for the well heeled. This is applicable to drag, dirt, road racing. Some other brands have more heat cycles but probably are not quite as good initially. Of the two my preference is Hoosier but not by much. And that is dirt and road racing. But I am sure applicable to drags as well. And driving any race tyre on the street is both dangerous and making that tyre hard real quick!

Thanks for the video. I have a question for you if I may. You said that you will bring the tire down to 6# but my question to you is how do you determine the correct tire pressure for your car? How do you know what you really need? I mean we get 6# but how do you determine if you need 7 1/2 instead, thanks.

@josephschaefer9163 4 жыл бұрын

Use a tire pyrometer for setting tire pressure perfectly. Otherwise it's guess work by looking at the tire footprint and seeing how the car handles and how the tire wears

@starbattles1 4 жыл бұрын

It's called test and tune. And lining out the car.

This would be much better without all of the "One thing a lot of guys miss", or "Something a lot of people forget" bullshit. Just do the instructional video without all the condescending bullshit. If as many people missed all the shit you say they do, then you would be the only racer with working beadlocks.
