Tire Shredding
While playing today I noticed the tire coming off my E-savage. I looked at it and it appears that the "sidewall" of the rubber right near where the tire contacts the rim was starting to rip. Is this common?
It looks like the tires either are not glued or the glue may be coming off. Should I re-glue them? Can I use silicone caulk to adhere them to the rims? I am running the stock tires and they have a ton of tread left on them, so I would hate to have to replace them.

RE: Tire Shredding
silicone will not do. you want to use CA glue. Tire glue if you can get it, if not regular old superglue is CA as well. Make sure you clean and dry the area well, and give plenty of time for the glue to cure before running.
