Default 2.2 beadlocks w/ all-t's?

ok, I got a set of jps products 2.2 aluminum beadlocks the other day
and I mounted up a set of imex 2.2 all-t's w/o foams. my problem is
that the tires hold to much air in them making them very bouncy, I've tried
loosening the bead and squeezing some air out but that didn't help.

anyone have any ideas?

Probably need to drill holes in your pretty rims.

Probably not what you wanted to hear...

Start with a single 1/16" hole.

ya, your right that's not exactly what I wanted to hear, but I kind
of figured thats what I'd have to do. the rims may be purty but
they are functional.

thanks,

How wide are they ?? Their webpage doesn't give much detail. Unless I'm just blind

I'll measure them up for you when I get home.
I can tell you there is just enough room to put
a 1/2 oz wheel weight in between the beads.

bouncey problem.

or drill a small hole in the tire, saving your rims. say in a tread block or even on the inner sidewall
