Default Ottsix Voodoo U4 on YETI- Punch vent hole in tires?

I was hoping someone with the Ottsix U4 tire could clarify one thing for me. A am using the U4 tire on the Crawler Innovations 6 hole plastic glue on wheels.
The wheels have a pre formed spot to drill them for a vent. Should I drill out the hole in the wheel or punch a hole in each tire?
Also is there a trick to gluing the tires in straight to keepo from getting wobble?

I just glued my set up. I like to use a leather punch to put 2-4 equally spaced holes centered in the tread area of each tire.

Punch is easiest if you have one. 1/8th punch and 4 holes is plenty.

This question is determined by the type of foams. Any closed cell inner you have to vent the tire. Other foams you can vent the rim

3 to 4 2mm holes.

Why not, for racing we used as large as 1/4", never had a single issue. When I cut and shut Voodoo's for my crawler and a buddy, I used scissors to make a hole, its not circular or perfect.

The hole size does impact the compression and refill of air in the tire. So the final size is really going to be based on tire/foam combo anyway.

I just buy from Crawler Innovations now...not only good prices and service, but Eddie and the team always punch holes in tires when you buy them from him in a combo pack with the CI foams.

Do the holes go in the tread, sidewall or somewhere else?
