Nkaminar, we already discussed this as to what one might "get away with", at length. Which truthfully anytime anything is used or applied for purposes outside of those intended by the manufacturer can be and often is dangerous. Hitman, again the manufacturer's of these tubes indicate a...

Rich, Yes, there is much conflicting information on this application. What I can tell you based on what I have learned: Snyders Part # A-1506-19 | Model Year 30-31, for 19" diameter tires is marked on the valve stem as "Radial" although they do not specify their application on the web...

Has anyone recently taken a trip to the Henry Ford and Greenfield Village with their collector car? Thinking about taking a trip with my coupe this fall and wonder about the safety and security of it all....Getting there, and where would the car be parked? Just want to go and have a look around...

Now that I have my government grant, I consider myself to be a qualified source. No kidding, I sure you do!!! Truth is it seems one can search and find said whatever one is looking to have said from a host of self proclaimed experts....

JayJay, your suggestion would indicate wall thickness. But like all matter, which takes up space and has mass, their weight would suggest the wall thickness given that they are most likely the same material. Nkaminar, so you say they are thicker, no mention of who's tubes they were, or how you...

So the professional gun system performed like the difference between night and day as compared to the hobby gun. It also conserves powder consumption by transferring more powder evenly to the target, less over spray, and less cleanup. As stated the start up costs are high, but would be quickly...

Look at the same tires a couple of days later......The only thing done was attempt to clean them in the manner prescribed by the manufacturer. Are they all going to get this way?? Kind of unsettling isn't it?? Look at the edges of the white label, also turning brown....

Getting back to our comparison here: The Hartford tube, which is marketed as for use with bias ply tires weighs 2 lb - 9.1 oz. The Snyder tube being discussed in this thread which is marked "Radial" on the stem weighs 1 lb - 11.8 oz. The Snyder tube is said to be 100% butyl rubber...

I agree with Hitman, and was calling attention to it, anyone can make any claim they may, but that does not make it factual. I always try to support claims with reference to factual data from qualified sources. Always look for engineering data from manufacturers or accredited testing...

Summit has agreed to send two new tires, hopefully they will be good ones. These two tires would forever be a problem, I demounted them tonight for return for warranty and the stains a noticeably more prominent than they were last night.....

I suppose we would not want tires bursting, not sure what data would substantiate your claim here. I can take schedule 40 water pipe normally meant for pressures of 100 PSIG or less, and use it on hydraulic systems with 1200 PSIG relief settings and get away with it. I recall a hydraulic shell...

The engineers who designed that tire rate its load capacity at 35 psi to be 895 pounds. That would equate to a gross vehicle weight of 3,580 pounds for the four which is about 1,100 pounds more than the gross weight of your car. 4 large fellows could bring it up to this gross, but ratings like...

What has been learned: Coker who manufacturers this tire in Tenn specifically states not to use bleach white on their tires. The man from their technical support group specified Mr Clean "magic eraser" or "simple green" to clean white walls. Results were marginal, I consider them unacceptable...

Thank you both, I will give it a go. I am concerned that this could be bleeding from behind. How deep do you suppose does the white compound go?

The brand new AMER CLASSIC RADIAL - 475/500-19 WW tires I bought have brown stains in the whitewall that standard cleaners (kitchen cleanser and brillo pads) will not remove. These tire were purchased last December and left with their shipping wrappers intact until yesterday when I mounted them...
