I tried that with copper wire once. It sliced right through the rubber.

I have thought of making the rubber itself harder so it is less like to expand. I have thought of spreading a glue or shellac on the outside of the tire but have never tried it, I really think that taping tires doesnt help that much. Maybe one of the tire companies coming out with a belted tire they have them for some of the on road tires

Now thats what you call a great idea. It would be neat if companies like proline, hpi, imex would form there tires with these incased within the rubber but instead of two kevlar strings use four or so flat strings of kevlar so that it will not cut threw the tire.

I found that a combo of lightweight duct tape and molded foams cut the ballooning on badlands down to about 1/4" or less, even at 50mph. That and balancing are the most important things to do to a truggy or MT. Makes a world of difference!

yup tapes does wonders on the standard size (3.2 inch) tires/wheels combos, but with LPR's we dont even bother taping them.
