Thread: Portowall questions

These are one I made.

What timing.....I JUST posted about port a walls recently. The 51 Chevy I just bought had them on and they were torn and falling off. But the tires are like new so I couldnt see replacing them yet. I opted for the ones on ebay, probably the same ones you are talking about. They werent very hard to put on, but were hard to keep on!!! Also, DONT use any soapy water, or any water at all for that matter...they just slip right off as soon as you air up the tire. After I finally got them on and straight, when I went for a ride the right side came almost completely off! Some one on another forum suggested using gorrila glue....WRONG!!! It dont stick and just makes a mess! But since it didnt stick, it was easy to clean off. I finally got them mounted straight, and they are staying on BUT....they still dont sit completly flat against the tire....Im gonna live with it for now, but really wouldnt recommend them to anybody....Just go for the real thing and be done with it!!

Here's a few shots of putting them on....

easy way to break the bead.....
