Can anybody recommend a rolling road in the South East that can rig the car up on the hubs and not run it on the tyres.

Thanks for that much appreciated. The reason is I have just had a proper engine build to a speed six and we are having trouble stopping the tyres from spinning on the rollers.

Its not because the engine is to big its due to the tyres going off when they get to hot.

I've only ever seen that be a problem after repeated pulls on 500bhp + cars.

Some tyres are worse for it, Eagle F1's seem particulary bad.

I had a problem on a rolling road with my car, thought to be tyres, the software was freezing at around 4000rpm every time, after a few phonecalls to dyno manufacturer it turned out the car wasn't earthing properly on the rollers and needed a jumplead from the engine to the actual metalwork of the machine. apparently has happened to a few tvrs on the dastek rollers.
