Are you guys going through the grim process of reusing your rims/inserts?
Was never a fan of ungluing tires off of rims...
I am a touring car guy...and have had the pleasure of being able to buy premount rubber for $20.00 a set every weekend. Need to get adjusted to the tire bill I guess.Guess I am sort of relived to see that the wear issue is considered "normal"...thought I was doing something wrong..lol
How about inserts? The dboot rears have ribs inside of them that don't match up with the proline/jconceps inserts. They get caught in the ridges of the insert and make the tire sort of deform.. Been using Duratrax c.cell or trinity dual stage foam inserts in the rear. Not sure what to get for the front..
I see that some don't use inserts on the front tires...is this a viable option?
Lastly..I see a lot of pictures where you see the inside plastic of the rim on the front tires (euro.nats pics...ect). It almost looks like the tire is glued to the inside or middle rib of the front rim...Can somebody explain what's going on there.
Just want to thank you all again for the help over the past few days.

On the odd looking gluing on front rim. I think this is when the slim schumacher tyres are used on normal 2wd front wheels. The slim fronts I linked don't generally require inserts, but the mini pin fronts work better with inserts in, in my opinion.
Over here the general consensus is that schumacher blue tubby inserts work best on the rear. Personally I have started using AKA closed cell inserts as I like the feel the tyres give. They tend to be truer too once glued up and give less sideways flex in high grip situations. The Schumacher blue foams are a bit more forgiving generally but can also feel more squirmy.
