Default CI DD comp cut front foams rolling over in tire making it to one side?

I'm running CI Double Deuce Comp cut medium 5.5 foams in the front and when crawling front tires are getting all over to one side in what I can describe as the out foam rolling over to one side. What is the remedy to this?
Bomber weighs 10 pounds.
Tires are Pitbull Growlers.

I already ordered a set of Deuces wilds to try in the front just in case it's a normal thing.

you could try use some hair spray between the two layers of foam. it sets up quick and will prevent the top layer of foam from sliding off the inner.

What is the size of the tire?
Eddie always recommended foams bigger than the tire.
A pain to get in but it can't move easily.

My stock bomber kit tires are 5.43 with 5.5 foams and my MT/R are 5.63 with 6.0 foams (thin outer layer removed).

Also did you punch holes in your tires so they actually work with double deuce?

Are your inner foams comp cut. Comp cut inner foams are suppose to help with that problem.

Yeah my tires are vented and yes comp cut.

The tires are 5.5 tall overall more like 5.25 internal and foams are 5.5. The foams where definitely bigger than the tires and a pain to get in.

In some cases the foams slide on the wheel or ring. Adding some type of grip material can help.

Yep, I've taken to smearing some E6000 between the inner ring and the closed cell inners. Steering response is much better now.

Slipping foams is why I have started cutting traction grooves on my wheel rings.

What wheel are you using and how wide is it?
What voltage are you using?
What is the intended usage/ terrain?
