Should I use rim screws with Mickey Thompson slicks?
Answer:
Starting line launches can cause the rim to spin inside the tire. This can be hazardous and should be avoided. If you are not sure your rim is doing this, mark the tire and wheel with a line to gauge tire slippage on the wheel. Check for tire slippage when you check your tire pressure after each pass. If it moves ½ to 1, you should use rim screws. Do not use rim screws on radial tires, unless they move on the rim.
