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?
