It's probably been answered before a million times so sorry for asking again, but do you vent belted tires and seal the rim holes like normal tires?

Ya I'm going to wait to find out for sure thanks.I’d go ahead and do it. Reason being is because the tires need some sort of venting, but the rim vents just suck up sand and water that will never come out again and just create a huge imbalance. (Definitely need tape over that) I don’t know how to avoid the belts when drilling though ?
I want to run my 29t pinion and do a cpl speed runs with my fpv but I want to make sure I do things properly and I used the belted tires twice so they haven't been sealed or vented and I'm wondering if I should. I don't want to wreck 130 dollar tires by drilling holes in them if you aren't supposed to.I drive well below the tire limits (not sure what it is though ?); unvented and taped the rims. No mud and water in my wheels!
if you go for high speed I would vent the wheels though.
Don't know what speed just having some fun, and proline belted street tires, I can't remember what ones I'll have to look at them when I get home.Yes, vent the belted tires. Just make it a clean hole and not a hack job. For higher speed, do it on opposite sides for balancing.
GRP's are belted and come with venting holes from the factory.
Good question though on which tire you are using and what speeds do you expect?
No harm in trying it! Tape the rim holes and vent the tyres. The foams are probably still damp!I have an outcast 8s and recently put on a set of the power hobby scorpion xl's (belted) I did not seal the holes or vent and like an idiot i ran it in a big puddle repeatedly on one of my runs. Now they are CRAZY unbalanced. wobbling all over the place. they have probably been that way for a week or so. is it too late to vent them? Are they ruined now, or can i still vent them and will they recover? I feel like an idiot for not at least taping the wheels. Because i have never vented before, I did the first attempt of it on my 3.8 trenchers on my mojave yesterday. Seemed successful. I guess i have nothing to lose by doing it on my scorpions as they are already wobbling like crazy. Can they be saved?
Definitely ventBadlands mx 2.8..vent or not to vent that is my question on a typhon 3s with 20t pinon?
