I also had this same issue with the CRC tires but have not used them for about five years and I understand they are the most resistant to tearing now. So tell me if I have this right.

Jaco - Decent wear, softer rim won't crack, compounds I know and tears the worst. Front bearing fit issues.
Parma - Same as Jaco now?
CRC - Less peeling but issues with rims cracking from impact.
Johns BSR - I would consider them an option if I knew how they performed
RC4Less - Well made, no peel issues but it looks like they are still using the small rim diameter and they are orange. lol
Xceed - Jaco rim, Jaco made?

I would also like some advice on gluing the sidewalls. Is their one type of CA that works better than others or even a different type of glue that works a little better. Any help you can give me would be appreciated before I spend my $150 on six sets for the season.
