I know Badger is. He took the LST foam and cut it in half. So it's now roughly 2" wide from 4". It seems to work for him.

i am about to mount up my lst tires and looked at the no foam thing. the lst tires are pretty soft compound. seems like without some kind of foam in the you'd be riding around on 4 flat tires

I don't run foams in my LST's. I tried foams and narrowed foams and didn't like 'em. Mine are on narrowed 'maxx-size' rims though, that may make a difference. The LST's don't crumple up and fold under like other tires I've ran without foams. The sidewall bulges slightly at the bottom just like a 1:1 tire at lower psi..... see the left front, it has the weight of the truck pushing down on it, still holding it's shape fairly well.....
