Opinions? Drilling BWD's with Miclows?

[atracys]

I just wanted some opinions of drilling the BWD rims to release any trapped air in the miclow tyres. Just with the tyres being so big is it necessary, will it give much more added traction from the tyre being compressed at that size? Any help will be rockin!

So you want to drill a hole in you rim to allow air in/out at all times or am i miss reading?

I didn't want to mess up wheels so I pinched the tire and cut, 4 tiny holes in the center of the tred. One at 12,3,6,9 oklock. So small that the lead shot wont fall through ... be carefully the qlos. Are soft and you can cut a large hole very easy...

I agree, I vented the tires, couldnt bring myself to drill a hole in the Vertex wheels. I just heated up a push pin and melted a small hole in the sidewall tread of the tires. There are some larger sidewall lugs that have a small void in the center of them, I put the hole in that void. Very hard to see, and allows the tires to conform to the rock better.

Put hole in the tire... cheaper than wheels.
