Wedgetop vs. Roughtop

[Kenyow]

We've had that problem. The break point is not at the rivets but in the tread itself. The roughtop tread on one of our wheels sheared off the canvas core. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, any advice?

What size rivets do you use?
How close to the end of the tread do you rivet?
We have wrecked wheels before blowing a tread so it seems to me there is something wrong in the way you're doing it.
