Bridgestone is now selling run flat tires in most common sizes. Have you tried tubes?

Do you run on dirt or asphalt. If you run dirt, you need to run tubes. Also what tire pressure do you run? You might be too low. Have you checked if anything is rubbing under load.

are you losing tires from sidewall holes or from holes in the tread? I'd run tubes whether it is dirt or asphalt, and run an extra side wall between the tire bead and wheel. I run most of my demo and all of my figure 8 cars like this...plus I'd run max pressure. You'd do better with less desirable pressure than no pressure at all... The car in my sig pic has the same thing...

dirt or asphalt? i would NOT run tubes on asphalt, ive seen the blow apart alot. you are more then likely just putting to much stress on the right front, if thats the tire your having issues with, and that could probably be solved with some very simple car and air pressure setup in all four tires and also ive seen changes in driving style do wonders. also something important, dry rotted junk tires will not hold up, we buy new tires, have them shaved and have gotten well over 200 laps on the same right front

the last car i had was a 92 accord and no lie had 300 laps on asphalt on the right front. if your driving in to the corner to hard, your going to rip tires apart
