Question is there away to reuse C.I. foams?

I noticed that when I went to switch up tires that my crawler innovations foams are a bit miss shaped now after being in a tire for a while .is there any way to get them to come back around so they can be reused?

a hair dryer will make them bounce back if they aren't too old.

I've rinsed foams in water and squeezed out the dirty water, then let them dry in the sun. I try to store my rc cars with the wheels off the ground so that foams last longer and don't get flat spotted.

They are just a little outta shape and not uniform to fit in new tires .
Thanks John. I'll try the hair dryer before I buy new foams
