Yea the only time I will tape is when I'm using a beadlock like the set of x-75's I had on my zombies a year ago (I wished I never sold those) they were taped and the tape started comming loose around the edges and I was amazed to see that anywhere you dont use tape the tire will balloon like crazy its kinda funny to see. Anyway they say you should ca glue the edges of the tape and I did but they still came loose. Maybe its time for some zombies again! Now what about some beadlocks?

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
