One rim partially mounted..pro line and internet out of stock of 3.8 "road rage street tire unmounted...so i removed the tire b soaking it in acetone the mounted tires ballooned crazy. Tire inside shown with dry wall tape glue to tire directly using loctite GT glue filling in all gaps to isolate from air preassure...after Gt dried covered drywall tape with gorilla glue tape. Glueinf edges of gorilla tape to tire with rubber shoe goo to see edges but give flexibility.

Looks interesting but have you balanced the wheels?
No i did not...first time around gonna see how it rides...assuming rims and tire are already decently balanced i tried to layer the tire dry wall tape evenly.
 
Cool idea!

Is it more bouncy than foams?
How much pressure in each tire?
How heavy is each tire after all the additions?
Got any running video from the upgrade?

The tire is not heavy at all..but it was really cubersome to get the dry wall tape to adhere enough to not balloon to the air pressure......i have no way off measuring the air pressure...filled the tires with cans air the hard tube straw it came with was glued to a rubber hose and then one end had a small section of the hard strae glued inside just enough to push the stem down and cover it.
