I tape and balance all my MT tyres. I tried to remove the tape on one of them recently and it couldnt come off - no chance of it coming unstuck. Make sure you clean the tyres with metho first (dunno what you guys call it... spirits? just pure alcohol from the hardware store used for a solvent) then I wrap two layers of gaffa tape around the inside.

The rims are nearly always perfectly balanced, so before you glue is a good time to balance the tire - adding strips of tape about 1/4-1/3 the circumference of the tyre on the light spot and after 2 or 3 goes you will have a nicely balanced tyre. zero wobbling or balooning at high speed.

Oh, and badlands eat zombie max's for breakfast. - they are also the only tyre ive ever bought that wasnt badly unbalanced (the other being panther 1/10 2.2 sand tyres). That was back before I strapped my tyres though, got some good ballooning going. Vid
