I always thought that racers punched holes in the tires to allow water out that got in thru the wheel vent holes?

James i dont know what the reason is . I just know that if it was benificial that they would do it . There are several factory team pros that race at my local track, & none of them tape there tires. They all vent there tires .

I shall give taping 2 tires a try and see how they compare to the other 2 that are not taped. I will also balance the wheels seperate from the tires.
