with lots of grip, aggressive tread and low tire pressures like that i would use bead locks. the best place i've seen to get them is from speedway motors. the mudders around here get from them and putem on and have fun in the mud.

dont use them :lol:
How do you know the tire did not spin 2 1/4 revolutions? Or 3 1/4?
If it only slipped a quarter, I don't see any problem at all. What's a quarter of a rotation...2 feet? Not much in 3280 feet.

I sure he marks the rim and tire. Not using screws makes it alot easier to balance also. My rim and wheel have a magic marker line on the tire to the wheel. It ran all year and moved less than an 1/8 of an inch.
