Memory foams. All of the vendors here have some sort of them. I searched and read lots of good things about Aces donuts. At this point it look like your tire options are Badlands, Hammers or Claws. Those seem to be the most popular. The Hammers have been released recently so your best bet is to search and read about reviews on them for different terrain.

If I were to buy foams right now,it'd be Aces dough nuts. Get in touch with FrankyRizzo or look at RCP crawlers. From my experience,Claws work really well if it's dry. I've run the new Badlands and they have worked VERY well for me. They seem to clean out nicely. I'm anxious to try a set of Hammers,they should work really well from what I've read. Terrain dictates tires. There is no such thing as a "Do all" tire. Each tire will have a certain area it'll work best in. IMHO,it's best for a driver to have a set of each. It can help since the weather will play a big part in what the courses will look like each day. |

I'm no pro but when it come to foams I think it's good to always use the same product so you have a consistent bench mark. I'm not running memory foam in my rear tires right now but I've been running Rock Claws. There are some new offerings from Proline that show promise and I have a set of M2 Badlands mounted with memory foams in the fronts only and a set of M2 Hammers on BO but only time will tell if they can unseat the Rock Claws. So to be honest the king of the hill is still the Rock Claw, but there are challengers. Hope that helps |
