Stock tyre question

[Gazzalene]

Git a Yeti kit and really surprised how soft the tyres are, even with the supplied foam fitted.
I am just going to run on "flat" terrain no rocks to grip for me.
Should I leave the tyres as they came until I need to change them?
Or are they not upto spirited use and change right away?

You will need different Foams, best are the crawler Innovations Duece Wild Standard or the New hd version depending on weight

Yes, the stock foams are too soft and basically junk. The tires aren't terrible, but the foams kind of ruin them.

Just today I fit up a set of Pro-Line Flat Iron XL, and a set of Crawler Innovations, CWR-3003 Deuce's Wild foams... Obviously the tire change doesn't allow a 100% apples to apples comparison, but the difference is huge in a positive manner. Even though the XLs are a little bit taller than the stockers, with the Deuces Wild foams the handling was more crisp, the tendency to lift a wheel during a powered turn was down and was the tendency to roll over (with no suspension changes)

The key difference is that the harder/stiffer foam of the Deuces prevents the sidewall from deforming or even folding over under lateral loads like the stock foams.

If you want to re-foam the stock tires, you might try the CWR-3014, they are a little smaller OD than the 3003.
