whats the best method for putting some holes in mounted tires ? i thought about just using a drill but i dont want to hit the foam or possibly corkscrew the foam out. i cnat remember but i think i have done that before...
yea i know odd question but hey there might be an answer out there i havent thought of yet.
I've used the hole punch tool to put holes in mounted tires, works well.

You'll have to shim it to feel, everyone's stuff is a little different, and there won't be an exact answer, if it's worn to be hell, then start with fat shim, if pretty new, start with skinny shim.
You need proper gear mesh inside the gear diff, whatever shim it takes to accomplish this is the "right" one....
don't be put off by the locals, they might be a little harsh but most have decent tech...........
