Proline 40 series
I picked up a set of Big Joes and 40 series velocity tires from Proline.. now.. for these specific tires, will i need to drill a hole in each rim to allow air to escape or just leave em alone??

The pro's say that you should,
I just read today in my June issue of Car Action that they say there should be a hole or even 2 in the rims to allow air to escape. It is supposed to let the tires conform to the ground better then if you sealed the air inside.

If I were you, I'd drill a hole in each of them. If you don't, you might have a problem with an air pocket in the tire causing it to have a bump in it...

I put four on each rim. just to be safe that they dont get clogged with mud.
Careful if you have a savage with the big joes. You must upgrade your clutch bell and clutch. Otherwise your engine will run very hot due to bigger tires.

I'm using them for an EMAXX.. speakin of running hot.. What does this do to my gear ratio?? should I change my stock gearing to accomodate the new tires?
