wat do you mean by tire ballooning if you are talking about wen one of the weels comes off the ground and then wen you give it gas it puffs up wen it starts to spin faster and faster than no its not bad that happens all the time with any car theres nothing you can do about it. but if thats not wat you are talking about wat is it?

Ballooning is normal at high speeds or when on-throttle in the air.... the only way to fix that is by taping the tires, racers do that..

Its bad if its just one wheel/tire. In that case you would need thicker diff oil to slow the differential action down. If you had a center diff and the front wheels were unloading, then you would need thicker oil in the center dif.

Tape the tires from inside. Get some silicone fluid in the diffs. 30K front 15k rear will do for bashing.
