Hello all,

I've got some cheapie tires on my bone stock '00 Accord. on the front wheels I've a brand called Futura which I got from Pep Boys (both tires blew out on me and I had to get a quick replacement) and the original Michelins in back. All the tires are OEM size. Eventually, I plan on getting all four replaced with decent quality rubber.

I take come canyon roads occassionally and my tires squeal like crazy. Can I bust the bead from over-aggressive turn-in?

 

i doubt it, theres quite a bit of air pressure holding the tire on, i think its 30 or 35 psi, not sure what u have urs pumped at. but safer is better right?

 

Did you try using bead lock b4 u had the tires installed ?

 

Little late for the bead lock now

 

i highly doubt it. If you are gonna hit those canyon roads, increase the tire pressure by about 4-5 psi, your rims wont cut into the tires as much and your sidewalls will flex less = more stability in cornering

depends, have to look into suspension as well.

mang, i wouldn't gun it if i got some crappy tireson my car, you'll end up landing yourself bottem of the canyon

 

I drive 40 miles a day in canyons, I take the corners as fast as I can. I have never had a bead break. You have air pressure and friction holding the bead on. Before the bead bearks you will chew up the edges of the tire. If the tires are sqealing they are either underinflated or cheap ****. Just because the tires are the same size doesn't mean they are the same grade.

or the tires could just be worn as hell, like mine were

 

The tires "squeal" because that is nearing the breaking point of traction of the tire(s). If you're using decent tires with sufficient tread your tires should not squeal.

I would check your tread amount and tread type; also compound of rubber used. There is a traction/temp/wear on the side of each tire (a, b, c or they have numbers).

A: is best
Higher number: better wear but typically will yield worse traction (rubber is harder thus holds up).

 

futura sucks... got it on my accord... cheaper isnt better..

 

as long as theyve got pressure, and you dont spin out all hard and **** and slide 90 degrees i dont see them coming off anytime soon.

 

Unless the tires are low on air pressure, you'd have to be going way way way too fast to get them to break the bead. Pep Boys tires are G.A.R.B.A.G.E. Get rid of them asafp.
