I am an avid autoxer and I had an event this past weekend where I experienced some problems with my tire/wheel/suspension package. I would like to explian my problem to you and see if you have a product or suggestion to that could possibly allivate this.

Car:
1991 Honda Civic Dx Hatchback


Mods:
Tokico Blue (nonadjustable) dampers
Coilovers (450/350 lb springs)
Rear Disc conversion from a 1993 Acura Integra
Rear Sway Bar from a 1993 Acura Integra
Front suspension minus the dampers and coilovers is stock.


Tires and Wheel:
215/50/13 Khumo Ecsta V700
13" Kisers


Problem:
During a hard left hand turn (90-180* turn) under braking, the tire would pop off the bead. My co-driver for the even believes it might be a caster problem. I was wondering if you have ever heard of this problem or know of a solution to this problem. I do not have the problem when I'm running the 195/60/14 Falken Azenis on stock 14" steelies. Do you think adjusting the caster would solve this problem ? If so would I have to use your adjustable radius rods to do so ?


any input from you would be very valuable and helpful.


Thanks,
Scott

 

is the camer alligned correctly?

 

Tire comeing off=very dangerous, if thats your problem then its a tire fitment issue, what psi are you running?

 

36 psi up front 34 in the rear..

 

i think its a tire fitment issue also. how wide are the rims?

 

215 on 13"!!! i bet the rims are 13x4 or 13x5.. waaayyy to narrow.


get 14's.

recomended rim width is 6.5+ for a 215.

215mm=8.5"

 

they are 13x7.. they make 13x8 and 13x9..
