Default Flat-irons...memory foam to hard...

I've been running my proline 1.9 Flat-iron mounted on DNA assisans for a few days now... mounting was easy and they do grip MUCH better than stock the extra pumpkin clearance has also helped. Anyway, I'm starting to think the stock memory foams are a bit to hard... yes I vented my tires...4 3/32 holes in each... still the tries just don't seem to wrap as well i think they could/should. I really don't want to cut the memory foam... looks like a HUGE PIA compared to cutting regular foams(yeah its my first set of memory foam). are any of the other brand memory foams softer? should I just get some regular foams and cut um up? or maybe I should just stop bitching about the little stuff and just drive the darn thing

How much weight (if any) are you running? Also I have noticed the memory foam proline provides get hard when they get cold. That could be all memory foams though...

Right now I'm not running any added weight... with the extra weight of the assisans and flat-Irons I'm about where i was with the stock weighted rims and tires... I liked that set up except for the lousy grip of the stock tires. I do run my battery on top of my steering servo for extra weight up front.

Forgot to add... its kinda cold here in vegas (47 at the moment) they WILL soften up when it hits 120!
