Nittos all the way if the Toyos are off the table. No debate IMO.

KR2 look even more useless for east coast wetness
o_O
they look like twice the tire and actually have some sidewall tread...

X2 lol
KRTs are not an east coast tire lol. Gotta look at carcass and plys in KR2 vs KRT.
Smike I've been thinking..., I'd buy tire balls and run old KRTs before I bought new tires to run without tire balls.....

with the price of tire balls, I'd buy innerairlocks before I bought tire balls. Running those at 40PSI ought to prevent pinch flats and most of the rim damage you and I have been seeing as well.

Tire balls or inner air lock..., I think smike should have some sort of run flat capability when out at the hammers especially with no on board spare...

Tom wayes ran 24miles on a method wheel. I figure i can run 40 on a kmc :)
Just better hope you're in the desert like he was and not in the hammer trails when it happens! Makes less work for use remote pit guys who will have to manhandle a mangled wheel off of bent studs and replace hubs....

cheap source (among many others, but lowest min qty): http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Custom-Rubber-Playground-Ball-Kickball-of_797648507.html
bad news: .5-1psi rating on a name-brand unit. I don't think that's gonna cut it to help anything. http://www.amazon.com/Voit-Playground-Balls-Red-5-Inch/dp/B001G1LIJY/ref=sr_1_13?s=sports-and-fitness&ie=UTF8&qid=1437434235&sr=1-13&keywords=kickball
Post by: M4wdFab on July 20, 2015, 07:32:25 PM
need to put slime in the tire so they slip around and dont make heat.
PSI rating is meaningless the way they will be used...
Post by: mr.mindless on July 20, 2015, 07:35:47 PM
I just decided to order the inners. if we don't find another good option before I'm swapping tires I'll run 'em and see what difference they make.

alibaba.com is the best place to find things.
Will rubber playground balls hold up to the demands of racing on a flat?

forgot to mention ATV guys use the walmart balls thats where i got the info from. but they do run in the 3-5 PSI tire range
Post by: jacel861 on July 20, 2015, 11:24:31 PM
Probably not. We need to find the most HD smooth rubber anythings that we can.Implants.

walmart kick balls are the only way to go at less than a 1$ each from distributor
or from the pirate, after reading 20 lame threads about bs search fucker
This stuff is old as shit.
Where I come from, smugglers filled their armored 4x4 tires with 15/20 bicycle tubes. When the cops shot at the tires the bullet would kill just a few, the other tubes would keep the tire from collapsing.

Tire Boobs 8)
I could totally market that!
Post by: jaysenodell on July 21, 2015, 11:04:18 AM
And it shouldn't be too hard to get someone to draw a boob shaped bag in cad.
Just out of curiosity, doesn't anyone use a mid-density foam for this? seems that it would be better than pneumatics. I'm not an expert by any stretch, but it would seem that a little goop to adhere foam to rim or tire would prevent most of the tire ball throwing issues. And I'd think the foam would last a bit longer as it wouldn't really care about punctures. Moisture could be an issue though...
Post by: M4wdFab on July 21, 2015, 11:11:14 AM
ATV guys tried Pool noodles, dust in miles on flat.
weight of a foam that can support 25psi is also way to heavy
