Another Mopar Off My Bucket List - Barracuda Fastback
CRIPES!! Dismounting the old slicks was a real pain in the butt. I used a buddy's tire machine and it was barely capable of handling the width.
I've decided not to mount the replacement slicks until I have a chance to clean up the wheels. Hopefully, they'll polish up nice.
At first I was going to install tubes because the wheels had been tubed before. - But when researching sizes I found that quite a few guys recommended going without. They said to coat the entire inside of the tires with DAWN dish soap a few times to seal the rubber and don't recommend screws either. I picked up a couple of bottles.
I do know that I want to check into liners for the slicks though. Given how tall they are it could be a major catastrophe if one popped going down the strip at speed.
