awesome video! tire torture starts at 0:23 !

The tire is NOT spining on the rim, it has screws screwed into the bead of the tire.

@jaded16340 how it can spin ? if will spin will lose the air

[jaded16340]

@dedrilia Hi, the screws only go into the bead of the tire and not all the way through, at least that's how my race car tires are, the screws just keep the tire from spinning on the wheel. Keep in mind, most slicks use inner tubes. When I first started racing I ran "street slicks" we called them, they were tires you could use on the street because there were a couple of groves in them making them technically legal but there were only two small groves so most of the tire was smooth and flat.

[jaded16340]

continued, when the bead of a tire suddenly breaks loose from the rim and the tire goes flat at high speed, that car only ran about 100 mph but a flat at 100 mph could be deadly so I started using inner tubes. They make it safer. But yes, dedrilia, the screws don't go all the way though, just partway into the thick part that contacts the wheel called the "bead". It jus occoured to me about an hour ago it was the tenth anniversery of 9/11/2001 It's awefully hard to think about it and not cry.

They use beed locks on these rims . Without them the tires would become unseated from the rim . Once the tires stretch to the piont where the locks hold the tire it should go or break !

how do they wrinkle when so full of air...is it to do with torque or summthin????

[MrPenobe]

@shawingz369 you cant figure it out by yourself ? the Tire has so much traction that when the tire starts to turn the tired stays put while the rim inside is spinning faster than the tire making it fold onto itself until both the tire and the rim are spinning at the same rate

[shawingz369]

@MrPenobe

so the rim starts off faster than the tire at the start?

[MrPenobe]

@shawingz369 yea cosing the tire to wrinkle like that from the rim twisting the tire from the engine turning the Rim so fast and hard that it turns the rim while the tire stays still because it has so much traction once the tire folds onto itself to its maximum amount then the rim will Grip the tire bead and start turning the tire once they are both up to the same speed the tire will become circular again if the tires did not have the traction they do the tire & rim would spin at the same rate

[MrPenobe]

@shawingz369 so basically the only reason these tires fold up like that is because the tire has more traction than the tire has resistance against itself spinning on the rim until its folds up on itself to the point that the rim actually compresses against the tire and finally grips and go's. say the rim has more traction against the tire than the tire has against the road then the rim will not spin inside the tire instead the tire will loose traction first like on small tires when you Burnout!!

Cool. Amazing how that tire wrinkles up.
