When a tire is not touching the ground at full throttle they tend to blow, also when you diff out. They will pancake and they may blow. Belted tires help. 🏁
 
Since getting a KRATON and using the 4S Backflip LP's .. I'm preventing this tread BLOW APART after EVERY bash session :mad:
Looking at outside sidewall above glue bead my LP's have lots of Pinch Splits/Slices that are essentially holes completely violating the side wall.
As tires balloon these splits open up further being pulled apart by the expanding tread. Left Un-Glued these tiny splits turn into a tear having tire come apart :cautious:
CA tire glue fixes them, it's just sad these LP's are so damn soft & stretchy & suffer from severe sidewall flex if hard cornering under power.

My son runs his Kraton just as hard and has gotten 3+ seasons so far out of his Proline Badlands without suffering this sidewall pinch/split issue that is plaguing me after the first use of them. About 10-12 batteries ( 4-5 sessions ) so far and tires are screwed up at outside sidewalls big time :mad:
