Need some help
I got some Proline 2.2 Super swamper tires and they do not seem to fit the stock axial bead lock wheels. Will these tires only fit Proline wheels? And do I leave the memory foam stock or modify it by cutting them down. Any advice will be appreciated.

These tires have fatter bead than most and take more work to mount. I like Crawler Innovations Deuces Wild foams.

Try harder. I've ran my sx's on 3 different sets of axial wheels the latest being ifd's. A bit harder to do but absolutely possible.

Definitely take a while to mount.. And +1 on the best foams out there, crawler innovations!

PL ridiculous oversized foam makes their thick beads that much harder to mount. Ditch the foams (and replace with something from CI) and it's a lot easier.

I've mounted the Pro-Line 2.2 Super Swampers on Boom Racing, Integy and Locked-Up RC wheels using the stock Memory Foams without a problem, wheel width and beadlock design are similar to Axial. Also mounted their 1.9 Swampers/Memory Foams on e-Bay Vanquish knock-offs without a problem. But you have to take your time, work the screws down slowly and check the bead between the lock ring and wheel as you go. After you learn to mount the Pro-Line bead, most others are a breeze by comparison
