LOL , yep you REALLY need to prep the wheels before you glue them with the JATO 3.3 , use thin CA as stated above .

This is a pretty common occurence with the stock tires , though I have blown some after market tires before too .

They are sending you new tires and rims because the glue wasnt powerful enough? lol
