Taping tires
Does everyone tape their tires?? I am trying to tape up a set of 40 series bow ties and it sucks. I am trying to get two good strips but for the life of me I can not keep the strips straight. I feel like I am trying to steer the tape towards the side walls constantly cause very bad wrinkles. Any hints or tips?
Anyone ever try taping in strips from side wall to side wall? Overlaping each piece creating small ribs going from side to side. Just wondering.

Just be very patient and start perfectly centered, and make sure the tire isn't aimed off center before you stick it down. Also make sure the tire stays vertical (don't let it lean) as you roll it down the tape.
I use gorilla tape, and only overlap it about an inch on the inside. I don't think I'd trust plain duct tape to stick for the entire life of the tire.
