Do you guys tape your buggy tires?

I strongly recommend against using tape in buggy tires. I bet after you look a slow-mo of an rc car tire spinning for 40 mph, you will agree. I'm sure the tire doesn't even expand uniformally, and that tape would only worsen the effects of high rpm distortion. I guess MT tire ballooning is sometimes just too much, but this is never the case with buggy tires. On the bright side, a little ballooning is like an automatic transmission system in perfect sync with the rpm of the wheels! The set of tires in my avatar (ofna treaded premounts) do not balloon at all really and seem to take away a lot of top end punch.
