Default 40 Series Tires

Got a question for you all......... HOw the heck do you reliable glue the 40 series bow ties onto the velocity rims?????? [:@]


I accidently ordered the 40 series bow ties (have since ordered the right ones) so I had to go out and buy some velocity rims so that I could use this $50 foul up. However,, I have tried to glue the tires twice and they still come off them rim with some standard driving..

HELP..!

Do not use the CA tire glue. It doesn't work right. It works right, its just that you have to wait along time for the glue to dry before you move to the next section of the same tire. It would take hours to do the job right. Use the thin CA "Cyanoacrylate" stuff. But, be careful because it drys in .000034 seconds. That what I used and I can not get my tires off the 40 series rims. With that CA tire glue, after 5 minutes, they were starting to come off the rim. Always think of safey. Where latexs gloves because that thin CA runs out the container too easy. Be carefull when you first open the bottle because it could start to squirt out. WHERE GLOVES and take your time.

i used reg CA glue. dont know if it was thin or not. worked great. Didnt quite set in 3.4 millonths of a sec more like 2 sec.

after i finished the 4th i mounted them, and fired her up. and i was back trying to rip off my road rages off the rims doing reverse circles at WOT.
