Always 1 row off the outside, before the glue is even dry

For me the problem is the tire has such a square profile so the outer edge only really digs in on roll rather than the car rolling on to it if that makes sense. The result is a sharp change in available grip ... especially when you are landing from jumps slightly off square etc. Cutting the rows makes the car "safer" without loosing you any straight line traction ability (as that row isn't really loaded when there is no roll anyway)
