Marvin Rifchen, founder of M&H, former owner of M/T,  recommended running new LSR tires through several "heat cycles" to break them in to lessen the likelihood of chunking, etc.  Either on the car or spinning tires under an infra-red heat lamp.

What's the part number for the 21-3.5 15?   Thnx.

Five years ago I asked Marvin about putting 90 lbs. of pressure in a 50 lb. rated tire.  He burst out laughing and said, "What the h*ll you wanna' do that for?"  He did agree with using nitrogen.

If this attaches, I think this is what Jack means about tire behavior!
