My understanding is:

Air has very little/nothing to do with ballooning at all... it is just the centripetal force of the rotating tire mass.

Venting the tire I'd understood was more about how the tire compresses on landing etc

Punching the tire on the outside vs the rim helps water/dirt get out

LPRs versus taping to avoid imbalance, rotating mass, uneven performance


Also I would note that generally racing is geared to I would say max 40mph ish depending on the track - I think the discussion here is for running at higher speeds and with tires you would never take to the track... just 2c
