Does this tape method also work with TC tires?
The tape is used for hockey, it's clear and very tacky/stretchy.

To use, cut a section long enough to cover the circumference of the tire. Apply one edge of the tape to the tire at the ridge between the sidewall and tread. Work around the tire until it meets up again. Trim excess and fold down against the sidewall towards the wheel.

TC tires have very short sidewalls so I doubt this would work.
