hi

yeah i would also only tape the tires if they are used with beadlocks.
also if you overlap the tape or double tape it with time and driving in dirty dusty conditions the thing will become loose. it may hold up quite some time though. if you destroy the rims at the hex or drive down the tires before the tape gets loose its ok of course. my experience is that this is unlikely to happen.

i agree that in heavy offroad conditions you may want some soft inserts for better grip. i personally never understood why people where complaining about balooning tires with monster trucks. balooning tires help to control the car when doing backflips etc. so i do not see the negative point there anyways.

concerning beadlocks. i only have some experience with the new maximizer beadlocks. they hold up ok. but still come off sometimes. don't know if there are "better" ones.

bye
