Adhesive- rubber to metal

[wristpin]

As would be the adhesive of choice for gluing synthetic rubber to steel as in newly produced tyres to the rims of a child's vintage Irish Mail Cart ( think pedal car) ?
The tyres are a shrink fit into the V shaped rims but the supplier is concerned that energetic driving may roll the tyres off the rims.

Loctite 480.............its used for gluing steel studs in the tyres of ice racers, so should be suitable.

Sickaflex 221 or tigerseal is a PU adhesive used to stick car wings roofs on etc

I used to stick a lot of rubber to steel when I made gym kit

Evostick contact adhesive let it dry but mot cure then apply the parts together

The hardest bit is getting them aligned because there is no working time. With that job I might trim it along the edges with a knife rather than even work to hard at alignment

Agreeing with Kent.
Evo Stick, let it dry, but get everything ready, you have 1 shot at it.
Warm the rubber tyres in hot water before hand and thoroughly dry.

LT 480 if you don't want to remove them "ever"

480 is pretty much the best for bonding rubber and or plastic to other materials. There is some working time, so its possible to move parts a bit to position them properly.
