And that reason is????? I always figured it was a combo of the soft sidewall and lack of sidewall support that caused ballooning. That and the weight of the tread pulling outwards as the tire is spun faster. My beadlocks are not vented, so the air inside is pretty much fixed. I always thought that racers punched holes in the tires to allow water out that got in thru the wheel vent holes?
