Superglue on the sidewalls has no effect on chunking in the main. USe the wrong glue and you stiffen the foam making it come away from the rest of the tyre easier. Evo-Stik works better, and putting the tyre sticker on works best. Make sure that you put the sticker on the plastic bead of the wheel and then over the tyre, not on the tyre alone.
The sticker should be stuck to the plastic bead of the wheel and the foam, as this will strengthen and protect the tyre. You will have to cut the sticker in one place because when you get the sticker on all the way round, it will overlap - it's designed to go on the tyre only.
This is also a good way to help stop grip roll. Put the sticker on the front tyres overlap the wheel bead again) and after a couple of runs the sticker will be almost up to the top of the tyre. This stops the edge of the tyre digging in and reduces grip roll. Much better than using superglue, and it strengthens the foam tyre, not weakens it as with superglue. HTH  |
