Default Tire foam

I got a question on tire foam. I am running none in my front with about 8oz in them each. I think that I need some foam so they dont compress so much would anyone reccomend some foam that will fit around my wheel weights. I have weights they use on real cars lining the inside of my wheel.

it really depends, like others are saying, we need more details, but generally if you go with memory foams they do alright, and thats if you don't want to spend much, or if money isn't a problem, go with the crawler inovation foams, they got multipule selections

I have to agree you can't go wrong with nova foams in your tyres , most of the guys at cANZ run the nova foams with sedona tyres and the work great for us

I took the foams out because the ones that were in it did not fit right with the weights and also I read some people liked the way they performed without foams after trying it out I dont think I do though.

I'd say just trim out the stock foams to fit over the weights.

I don't think there's much point in foam tuning with rock lizards since just about every other tire out there is just plain better.

I cut a gear like pattern in my stock ax-10 foams. Worked well. Soft but not to soft.
