problems.....

[shaun1.6ghia]

Having problems with tyres poping off the rim,

175-50-13 tyres on 6.5-7inch banded escort steels, powdercoated.

they slip and spin on the rim then push the side wall off and drop all their air.

tryed tubeing and pop'd it, tryed 40psi and still happens, tryed bead seal and it still spins the tyre and splits the bead..... only happening on rear wheels.

 

any ideas peeps?????

I have 185 50's on a 7" alloy.

 

Maybe 175 is a little too much stretch?

Nobody else seems to have these problems though. I'd suggest its a problem with the rim ??

[Posse]

yeah must be the rim I have 175/50’s on mine and the rims are 8in.

i have them as well they seem to grip ,they pretty knackered again.but dont come away from the rim

Yip i have 175/50r13 tyre on my 7" rims.. no hassle with them

Maybe the powder coat isnt allowing it to grip? Maybe try keying the powder coat where the bead sits?! 175/50's on a 7 inch rim is so common now so you shouldnt have any hassle!

I paint the inside of all my rims with hammerite so the tyres sticks to the rim properly. Never had any air leaks or any of the problems you mentioned, perhaps it's a cheap enough to test
