|  venting rock beasts
I have searched many venting threads and have put 2 holes in each tire with a hot leather punch. Piece if cake. But the rock beast are so soft I think holes are sealing up. Is this expected or should I make bigger? I dont think the air is releasing as expected. Yet. |

im intrigued by this as well I just used a drill bit to punch a couple small holes in my pitbulls and they seam to of sealed back up instantly lol. I might just drill the wheels like I have for everything else but I wind up in water quite often.

Cool, I tried drilling and they are so soft the wanted to wrap on drill. These tires seem awesome so I want to do it best way I can as well. |

Kinda a funky way to vent tires but I use my old cheap Weller stick style soldering iron to cauterize holes in some of my tires. ... |

I drill a hole in my wheels and tap it for a 3mm screw and then if I'm out wheeling and encounter water jus put the bolt in and no water leakage. Which most the time I will compress the tires a little bit and put the screw in so they have a low tire pressure look and wrap around rocks pretty good plus I don't have to worry about trying to stick a screw in out on the trails.

Soldering iron with point or Blunt round tip just worked awesome for my pitbulls! Air releases nicely now. |

I use a 1/8" leather hole punch, usually 4-5 holes per tire. Never had an issue with them closing up.
