Default Cut Memory Foam?

I just bought a set of Memory Foams (Proline Soft 6179-02) to use in my tires, should I cut them or use them whole? They look quite large, but being memory material, maybe they'll work just as they are?

My tires are Moabs (M3) and they are mounted on the original beadlocks from the kit. I have aprox 7oz of lead sticky weights in the front wheels, and about half as much in the rears. I haven't drilled any air holes in the rims yet, but i think i would find that to be beneficial....

I just sat down here after installing memory foams for the first time. They are real soft, it's like there's no foam in the tires and mine have no air vent holes. So, no I wouldn't cut them.

I used a fine blade on a bandsaw on both the kreepy Pinks and the lose's. They turned out pretty nice..

Default vent

Vent holes in the rims are ok but I drilled holes in 3 spots around the middle of the tire tread this lets out any water
