|  also...Foam or not?
when i first got my tires i took out the foam and added a crap load of bb's into the tires in assumption that i would want the weight AND crinkle of the tires to hep traction. the question now is are there downfalls to bb's in tires? Are there crawler specific foams, and why would i want to use them? and do tire weights work better than bb's? thanks in advance Nootch |

yes you want the foam in there, it gives side wall suport and aids in side hilling, with out it if you off camber and turn up hill the tire will just fold over and u wont actaully turn like you should, get to your local tire shop, get the lead stick on weights, stick those inside the tire to the rim, put the foam back in and go crawl, differend people prefere differant amount of weight so its a tuneing thing. once the lead weight is installed drill 1 or 2 1/8" hole thres the rim and weights, this will let the tire vent and conform to the rocks better |

Go to the vendors section and pick yourself up some Nova's Ark 2 stage foams..You don't need anything else in your tires..  Except maybe some stick on lead weights..
