ballooning in a car is because of the diff oil. that and air is not able to escape the wheel because there are no holes in the wheels to release it. badlands dont balloon any more then any other.

Wow, that is just so wrong. Tires ballooning have nothing to with diff oil at *all*. Nor is it caused by air "trapped" in the wheel without any means of escape. Tires balloon because every single atom is trying to move in a straight line but being forced to move in a curve instead i.e centrifugal force at work. The faster the wheel spins, the more pronounced it is.
