Default Tires pull to inside of wheels

I keep having this problem with my tires where they pull to the inside of the wheels. Basically they are stretched toward the inside and keep getting the tires into the springs and body quicker. I have to physically pull them back out by hand all the time.

Is this normal or is it just me????

When you turn it pushes the tires inward on the wheels. Since its foam inside and not air, they stay that way.

My current setup does not do that.I have had some in the past that did.

Like already said we need more info on what you are using.

Right now I have proline chisel's on proline beadlocks up front and losi rock claws on the same proline beadlocks in back. (I haven't mounted up the chisels in back just yet) Not sure what foams are in the chisel (bought them from someone that way) and the rock claws have the factory foams.

if you have stick on wheel weights? read further

i had this problem with foams, come to find out, it was the wheel weights
i had a wheel smooth on top (no channel) with stick on wheel weights.....i had to stretch the foam over the top of the wheel weights. once under full throttle the foam would walk off the weights & wad up to the inside and the tire would stay there, until i had to pull on the tire and foam back to center.
thats the reason mine use to do that, not sure if thats your problem

My rock locs did the same thing, I trimmed a thin slice of foam from another 1.9 foam and added it to the outside sidewall then remounted the tire. problem solved.
