I use to run the radial slicks back in 2004-2005 and had them screwed to the rim (8 per side). My car would 60' in the 1.31-1.33 range with no slippage.
To be honest I don't think you need to run screws because with the radials you are running more air pressure which helps it seat to the rim. A bias tire runs less air, so it does not seat to the rim as well.

Isnt that what I said ![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)
The way the 'fast' guys told me to do it wa to put a light coat on both the tire and wheel, let it dry for a minute and then mount it. Thats what I did. I may knurl the inner surface of the wheel to get a little more bite.
I dont think it moves that bad for a 3400 lb car that 60's 1.29-1.30, beadlocks are the only thing that would stop it 100%, or screws but the bead bundle is different on radials and they really dont recommend screws.
