Tyres coming of rims HELP!!!!!

[Splitpin2005]

Now found that my tyres are coming off of the rims. Too much tearing around car parks i think. Tyres just go flat when cornering fast and it ends up ripping up the rims. How and what with do i refix the tyres FIRMLY?????

Clean the bead, reglue and put some heavy rubber bands around the tires to push it into place. do you have holes in either the rim or tire to let air out. That helps from popping the bead too

What kind of tires are you running? If they are beadlocks on an HPI Baja 5B the original tires will rip pretty easily. In that case, get a set of Hostile tires.

If they are the glue in kind, do what Pipeous said.. Also, make sure the crazy glue you use is fresh. Makes a big difference..

Good call Chris, I just assumed it was FG MT tires

Barry, I like the whole putting holes in the tires. It also prevents the wheels looking like pizza slicers.

You only get the pizza cutter look from not having belted tyres Chris. Its the centrifugal force expanding the tyres.
