Noob question about foams!

[daemoncrx]

Hi guys, just another stupid question i think!


If i replace the stock 2.2 imex foams from the swamp dawgs with larger 2.2 memory foams will the tires look bigger ? will a bigger foam make the tire look bigger?


thanks for the understanding :-(

Nope, sorry. The tire may bluge out a little more, but the biggest difference with a larger foam will be that the tire will be firmer and not conform as well. Memory foam fixes this to some extent by not putting as much pressure on the inside of the tire, as it has a slower rebound. Memory foam works better than regular foam, except in cold temps, where it gets hard and acts more like a very stiff regular foam.
