Im guessing the front tires ars throwing dirt into th rears??? The holes on the stock wheels seem really too big im thinking ca them closed after installed with tires and make new smaller holes. Im stumped I've never had this happen.with hundreds of tires I've ran. Any ideas is.it the wheels? How does the dirt get in there? I used my reamer and made three holes in the tire tread ran.again seemed like.they were a little lighter. I've got 3 sets.of new tires to.glue all with stock.wheels if its the wheels that's an issue there gone outta here for.sale
the issue is that the vent holes on the ae wheels are huge. they are good for indoor clay but fill up with sand and gravel when driven in the loose stuff. just tape over the holes. you may want poke a small hole to allow for some venting. on page 199 toward the bottom I show how to fix your tires filled with sand. mine had like 40 grams of sand and gravel
