Scott,
Do you know what caused the VTA tire to balloon so much as pictured in this thread? I would think being a firmer compound that it would hold it's shape better.
Best regards,
Brian
Brian, no I don't why this happens. My experience is different. I've only owned one set and they didn't really swell up. I used a tire sander to get the sheen off the tire and just used SXT. I used that same set on asphalt after numerous carpet runs with xylene and mighty gripper red and got some swell but not what has been pictured. Someone smarter than me may know the answer though.
