Yeh, possibly IDK but it wouldn't take much water to throw the balance like Jerry stated. I've had tires balloon weird shapes but of course that was with standard foams.

I agree that if there is any way for water to incroach, it surly will. I to have worked on water for many years (20+ years in the US Navy as a mechanic), and if there is one thing I have learned is that any opening that is not sealed will allow water to enter. Your assuming that he will only have one shot at this, and will not do any practice runs of any kind, or possibly come in contact with water prior to his speed run. Once this vehicle comes in touch with water it will for sure get into something. If any water enters the wheels it will throw things out of wack and vibrate like hell causing handling issues or maybe even break something.
