Anyone ever installed a set of port a wall white walls ? I'm having problems with them not laying flat on the tire and "bubbling up" in spots. Do I need to use some kind of adhesive or what?

that kinda sounds like the tire is too narrow for the rim maybe?

PORT A WALLS ARE ONLY MADE FOR BIAS PLY TIRES. THEY NEVER LAY FLAT ON RADIALS NOW WILL THE HOLD ON. WITH DRIVING THEY WILL LITERALLY TEAR AT THE BEAD AND FLY OFF.

potra walls will work with a radial tire IF you use a wide tire. if you use the widest tire recommended for your rim they will fit tighter

a white ring that is held in place by being pinched between the rim & tire,it gives the effect of wide whites,hard to explain if you've never seen em.Actually i just got a set off ebay for like $8.00 shipped
