Wet Proline dual stage foams.. still run them?

[Mudsplat79]

So I've had two pair of wet outer foams in my Gen 8's old tires when I took them out yesterday to put them into my Blazer with my new bead locks. They were wet inside and brown (from mud and water). It's probably been that way inside those old tires for a couple of months. I spun them through the dryer (air only) for 40 minutes and they are dry and are shaped fine albiet colored on the softer foams. Are these still going to run okay, or should I get a new pair?

Thanks

I don't know if its right but I've run them like that before. As long as the foams are not falling apart i normally keep running them.

IMO keep running them. After going through water, I spin my tires too throw the water out the vent holes. I rest the car on the bumpers and go full throttle. Give that a try the next time you go out and get them wet.

foams suck up water no way around that if you dont like it dont use foams
they also go flat and not just on the bottom like real tires
moral of the story is we need a better system
in the mean time theres always i.t.s.s. its not the best solution but it is better than foams in my opinion

This and that's why I prefer single stage foams like Crawler Innovations and Pro-Line. Gotta vent the tires so that the water can be spun out.
