Ok. I am naive as what it's like over there, wow.

Regarding taping the inside of the tires to keep them from balloning, I was under the impression that you only taped under the tread area, and maybe not even the whole width of the tread. This leaves the sidewall untaped and still flexible, for normal bump absorbtion, suspension action, and normal mounting ease.

Also, a tire you might consider for this project that is kind of like the Badlands tire, but with much smaller lugs, is the Duratrax Derringer tire. Look it up. The Duratrax Bandito tire is a street only tire, not like the Derringer tread, but that's worth a look at too.

Good luck.
