[Notorious J]

Hi there, No problems with centripetal motion forcing the foam inserts through the drilled hole?

None so far, and I've had my Notorious tires done for a couple of months now. The whole needs to be very small to still be able to vent properly. This is why I like the soldering iron solution, and not the drilling. The hole almost reseals itself when you pull the iron out, but stays just big enough to vent under speed. At the end of each run, I set the truck on a wooden block, and hammer the throttle for a couple of minutes to expend any water that might have gotten into the tire.
