What tires are you using? The AndyMark style 200x50mm tire? A LOT of teams are using those tires and there have not been a lot of reports of popped tubes.

How much pressure did you have them inflated to? Maybe it was too high or too low?

Also, there are tubes and there are tubes. Not all are created equal. If you search around a bit (or even ask ChiefDelphi) you can find thicker tubes that will be less susceptible to popping.

Good luck,
