Default what foams do you all prefer?

last night was bored so i put weights in my wheels on the crawler im building. managed to get about 6-1/2 oz in each wheel. but i had a small problem.
on the proline hammers i had they had a normal set of foams inside that had been cut in the star shape already by who ever i got them from. well with trying to put the wheels in the tires and foams with the weights sticking up a little higher 2 of the foams split so they are pretty much junk now.
i also had a set of losi Rock Claws i bought from someone on here that 2 of them had i think some type of memory foams in them. i did manage to get the wheels in with these tires and wheels but was a little bit of a chore to get them right but i managed with it.
was courious to see what type of foams you all like or use in your rigs?

In the summer I dont mind using stock Proline memory foams in my tires (granted Im a scale guy not a comp) but for colder weather I enjoy either Nova dual stage foams or my own cause they are non memory foam and dont freeze and turn to junk.

soft non memory ones. I was never a fan of "stuffing" a tire with foam

Watched so many rigs bounce and spin on weak climbs due to hard foams with all these inserts and what not Then I pull up with stock foamed tires and launch right up
