Best way to keep tires from doubling in radius at high speeds?

[tresnsom]

Basic question,

At top speed my tires on my baja grow almost double in radius meaning, the go from say 3.5"tall to 5.5" tall.

I guess maybe gluing the foam to the rubber inside tire and then gluing the foam to the wheel? or are there better foams/tire set ups anyone has used so the tires still have full contact with ground at say 45-50mph/

thanks for any ideas or help!!

They sell different stiffness foams, get a hard foam and tape the inside of the tire with a few layers of gorilla tape or ducttape. Be aware that tire growth raises your top speed, so it won't seem as fast with a good tire job.

Thanks! this may be stupid question, but double sided tape? or would gorrila glue be best?

No glue or double sided tape, gorilla tape is like duct tape, it's reinforced with fibers so it does not strech. So 2 layers taped to the inside of the tire (under the tread area) won't let the rubber expand as bad.
