So that 6BT is going in mine after you're done rebuilding it right?

If you buy it, sure

Fixed lol

Found some dry-rot on the wheeling tires. While this isn't good, I've definitely seen worse.

Looks good on there:

if they are bias I wouldn't worry about it.

It matches the rear diff cover

 

[GLTHFJ60]

Got the rest of the tires mounted. Pink rings and grey centers. I like it

 

[robustbambi]

Looks great Johnny! Maybe ill spray mine purple.

I guess my eyes are getting old, that looks red not pink.

I have the exact same ones, did you use the PVC insert or did you try putting in runflats?

They're PVC inserts. I don't have any extra runflats to install. Besides, I don't want a runflat in a wheeling tire, only my highway tires.

How are you balancing the ones with run flats ? How do they ride ?

 

[GLTHFJ60]

How are you balancing the ones with run flats ?

I'm not.

How do they ride ?

Like crap! They're super loud. They are actually pretty balanced straight from the military. When I get my alignment straightened out it'll be fine.

That's what I was thinking. Thera no way the beads would rotate quickly with that thick lubricant in there. Thanks.

What lubricant are you talking about? The tires I've had apart don't have any kind of fluid in them.

I forget the actual name, its made by Hutchinson. so that the rubber doesn't catch on fire when doing 50 with a flat tire. I'll send you a pic when I get home

 

[The Phoenician]

HYG. I guess it's just referred to as tire lube

Thats got to be a site to see.

 

[The Phoenician]

Just went thru two hard drives, can't find the pic I'm thinking about, but just imagine a flat tire that's smoldering.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

Why in the world would you need that stuff?

Very weird.

 

[onemanarmy]

when running from the cops and hitting the spike strips?

The COPS tv show has many examples of tires catching fire when flat.
