Tires appear incorrectly and pop immediately

    I'm trying to create tires for the front and rear wheels separately. The first issue is that they appear on the rear wheels instead of the front wheels. The second issue is that no matter what I input for tire radius, it appears on the inside of the rim. Finally, they pop immediately after the car spawns. What can I do to make them appear on the correct wheels and on the proper side of the rim?

    Ok, I was able to make the tires appear in their proper positions, but they still pop immediately after spawning.

    So from a very limited amount of googling I've found that go kart tires are at about 10-14 PSI and yours are at 27 by default. Maybe you could try turning down the pressure and see if they stop popping.

    They pop no matter what psi I set them to

    So, shot in the dark as I know basically nothing about wheels, but you could also try lowering the number of numrays. 16 seems a tad excessive for a wheel that small.

    That plus some tweaking of beam properties fixed it :D
    Thanks again!

    Popping will probably be from instability of some kind. The node weights are still very high for the size of the wheels but reasonable for the spring values, which is what matters for stability. Maybe your axle nodes are too light or suspension beams too stiff. I don't otherwise see a problem with the jbeam.

    ^there is nothing wrong with having 16 rays if you really want it, it seems like you will just have to find the source of the instability. *AXLE* node weight can matter because more beams connect to them with more numRays, but you could decrease the hub beam springs to counteract that.
