Vent the tires instead. It'll let the water escape via centrifugal force.

Not a fan of venting tire they seam to suck the water in and the only way to dry out the memory foam is to pull the hole tire apart.

Run ci dw closed cell foams. No need for venting.

I vented my aluminum wheels thunder, I drilled 4 holes with a 1/8" drill bit. Being that small I almost don't even notice them.
