Yeah, I think you may be right.
Consider the fact that now the bead having been stretched out and I would think the sidewall would have a little more give, actually. I guess I could just ask the guy running em like that. :)
So, aside from 40 series and phaltine types, would you guys say that pretty much all "standard" sized MT tires are prone to this balooning effect?

I know that the stock T/E-Maxx tires are a pretty hard compound and seem to resist balooning fairly well, but any other tire I've had has always been a softer compound, so I'm wondering if they should start belting tires with a harder compound or are we all gonna be duct-belting our wheels from now on?
