what kind of tires are you guys using to hold up to brushless speeds and limit ballooning. i am looking at anaconda's and dirt hawgs right now. any info on either?
 
They both Balloon. If you don't want tires that balloon, look into some Jaco Foams.
 
Whichever tires you do end up running make sure you get AKA foams. They're much thicker than Pro-Line's & don't balloon hardly at all. I use AKA foams on all my tires and it's a huge difference in reduced ballooning & keeping good traction.

Not much of an answer from me but I got some tires from Sweetdeisal for my buggy and they dont balloon much at all compared to the tires that came on it, not even on 6s, but i dont know what they are lol....

heres a crappy pic though so you can see what they look like and maybe you will know.

If you are worried about ballooning then duct tape is your friend. Tape everything....foams if you are worried about them and the inside of the tires. I have all my tires taped that I put on a rim....zero ballooning.
