How to Glue Tires

Tires are a key point to making your vehicle run and you want to make sure that the tires are set up in the most effective way possible. First you have to rub some rubbing alcohol on your rims and mounting channels. Then wipe off the rubbing alcohol and whatever it picked up with a paper towel until nothing shows up on the towel anymore. If you want an even tighter bond between the tire and the rim, you may want to lightly sand the rim before rubbing it with alcohol. Secondly, center the foam insert in the tire and don't do any trimming unless the entire insert does not fit in the tire. Put the tire with the insert on the rim and make sure that there aren't any lumps. Then, put a rubber band around the tire and rim so that they are held tightly together. Third, you need to start glueing. You have to pull the tire sidewall just far enough away from the rim so that the glue can get down to the bottom of the tire-mounting channel. Put four, evenly spread out, small drops of glue on each side of the tire. Make sure let one side dry before flipping over the tire and starting on the other side. Lastly, you need to give a gentle pull on the sidewall and put a drop of glue where the loose spots are if there are any. Seal the edge of the tire, or bead to the wheel by putting a full drop of superglue between the tire and rim. Tilt the tire a little and then slowly rotate it 360 degrees in your hand so that the glue spreads all in between the bead and the rim. Let this dry before starting the other side and remember to not run your newly glued tires. Have fun.
