This'll make ya rethink stading by one on the dyno

Goodbye, real wheels. It was nice knowing you.

They were Mickey's too.

Why don't they use a full blown race tire at that level?

[SOLOW55]

M/T states never to use their radial tires on a dyno .

[Daniel6718]

Too wide a wheel on too narrow a tire, centrifugal force, bead locks and it wouldn't of happened

Stiffer tires give bigger dyno numbers mang!

Seriously? Why's that, aside from the obvious failure in this instance.

Tire growth equals more diameter? Just a gander.

That is the Camaro that flipped/totaled at the mile a year or 2 ago

Limitation of liability.

Learned my lesson about 10 years ago when my tranny locked up on the dyno, shearing the 3 torque converter bolts off of the flexplate and sending them flying in all directions.

I was hanging around USA Motorsports back in the day when they had a guy from a nearby shop come in to run a car they just finished for a customer. I can't remember if it was Travis or Archie running the car, but about 3/4 of the way through the pull there was a very loud bang, followed by the driveshaft flopping against the ground, they broke and flew out from under the car towards the driver side, missed us by a few feet.

From now on I try to stay at least 10 feet away from a car on the dyno, except for one time when Brooks was dynoing Tony's blue coupe and wanted me to stand next to the car and watch the boost gauge during the pull for him. Scary shit.

Anyways, it broke the u joints, drive shaft, fucked the tailhousing up, and actually cracked the block on the car if I remember correctly. It was a green 94-98 Cobra, I think.

Tire growth, plus the car being strapped down extremely tight, the tires had nowhere to go, when they would typically grow and raise the rear of the car a little when not on a dyno. Instead, they built up heat in the sidewalls from increased friction until they popped.

The crown of the DYNO roller is unlike any surface you could ever drive on. It is not flat like a street/race surface. It is equivalent to doing a burn out on a parking block. It has nothing to do with the tire not being able to grow. Once you run a bias ply tire on a dyno roller it is forever trashed.
