Tire foams?

[slimeball]

Hi, can someone educate me on some tire foams? I have a rc4wd gelande 2 D90. It's pretty heavy, with upgraded bumpers, winch etc. I'm also getting a roof rack. The tire folds over pretty badly when turning. Is this okay/normal. At this point I kind of like the tires, it's a bit more of a challenge,so I am not looking to replace those yet. For now I am looking to just replace the foams, I don't really know where to start or what characteristics to look for when searching online.

Hi, welcome and nice truck! I too like good looking scale tires that work well, but they don't have to make every line I point them at, good to have some challenge.

Yes, love my Crawler Innovations Deuces Wild foams!

What Natedog said: Crawler Innovations foams are definitely the way to go. As your rig sounds to be on the heavier side (+7lb), look at the 'Deuce's Wild' closed cell foams - They hold the tire up and are also water proof Or look into their 'L'il Nova' dual stage foams if you still want more tire deflection.

I made a video about tires & foams a while back - Those C.I. foams covered around 02:30, hth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EVZV1-SSEc

As stated above I'd definitely start with Ci and if you write them with specs on your rig they will help get you wht you need
