Default Getting new rims and tires

Here are the tires I'm thinking of getting: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...15237&tc=photo
The question I have is, Do you think that these will "balloon" like the stock ones do?

And no, I'm not putting them on the stock rims. I'm waiting for that auction to end so none of you steal them from me.

I replace the foam with Dual density foam. I put it in my tires, and it made a HUGE difference.

I hear putting duct tape on the inside of the tire stops them from ballooning. I'm wishing I heard that before I glued my tires.

And that auction is a buy now only and it lists 6 sets of 4 tires available. You wanting to buy all 6 sets?[sm=lol.gif]

I know that the tires are a buy it now, it's the auction for the rims I'm waiting for.
