How about a little slick tech

I’m getting my slicks mounted today so I thought I would post up my procedure. Many already know this or it may not be needed for guys that screw their slicks to the rims and run tubes, I don’t. On Mickey Thompson slicks they recommend carefully removing the “mold compound” from the bead without getting it inside. This is my procedure for preparing slicks before mounting. I carefully use laquire thinner on a rag and clean all four beads on my slicks. Then I mix up a small mixture of Dawn dish soap and water, heavy on the Dawn. I then take an old sock and soap up the inside walls of both slicks. I do both on one side and flip them over after it drys to do the other side. I do this twice to both slicks and my slicks do not leak like many guys complain about. After all the four inside sidewalls are done twice that part is done. Now I take red scotch right cloth and scuff all four mounting beads. Then I clean the beads with laquire thinner. I then take mine to the tire shop and they coat the beads with “High Tack” brush on sealer with no water used when mounting them. I have the guys inflate them to 15 pounds to push the tire against the rim while the High Tack dries. I’ve run them like this with 1.25 sixty foot times without them spinning and will stay inflated all winter without deflating.
