Drturbodiesel Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 I would like some proven tires that will handle this speed without shaking me to death. Bought some sodona bazookas and they start shaking violently before 6th gear. Quote
Young Guns Racing Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 I'd think any tire will. I've had stock, Maxxis, ITP, Kenda, Skat Trak, Duro, and Pure Sport tires all over 80. Maybe check to see if your rims are bent. Shouldn't be wobbling. I've had many of those brands up to 80mph+ as well with no issues. x2 on checking the rims and maybe the axle / bearings. Quote
sheerider11 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 Or do you have 10 gallons of slime to try and plug a slow leak? Quote
BUILDER Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 hahaha I do believe you have issues other than tires. I am curious what kind of banshee build you have that is doing 80mph in 5th gear????? Quote
Drturbodiesel Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Posted January 29, 2014 I don't mean it will run 80 in fifth. I just can't get out of 5th without shaking. No fix a flat. New bearings axel rims and tires. Only thing not new is the hubs. I am running itp ss wheels which are way heavier than stock but hopefully they aren't a prob. U can see tires running out of round when run on jack Quote
rg97 Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) U can see tires running out of round when run on a jack Well why didnt you say that earlier... Probably not your hubs. When its on a jack try and move everything around. Any axle looseness means bad bearings, and axle tightness but wheel looseness may be your hub splines, axles splines, hub/axle nuts. Did you make sure that all of the nuts are tight in the back? Edited January 29, 2014 by rg97 Quote

Atomic Monkey Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 What about the rims? On the jack while they're spinning at a speed where you just see the bobble in the tire... is it just the tire, or both the rim and tire and tire doing the shakey? Or another thought, while its up on the jack, hold a ruler or something to measure the height of the rim off the ground, and turn the wheel by hand to see if it deviates. Quote
Nightmare Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 I'll bet it's those heavy ass rims making them shake. Quote
Drturbodiesel Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Posted January 29, 2014 I will try all that as soon as I get a chance. And yea those rims seem to not be sutch a good idea for this machine the more I research. That's prolly why I got them so cheap. Thanks to all for the opinions and suggestions. Quote
