|  CI foams way bigger than the tires
After successfully removing my Canyon Trails from the glued stock rims, I now want to mount them on a set up steelies. Wanted to try a set of CI dual stage foams. I ordered the 4.5" and they just came in. The 4.5" foams are substantially larger than the 4.7" tires (actually measure 5 1/4" out of the package). I'm assuming I just shove them in there. My last two sets of Proline dual stage were a little larger than the tires but not as much as these. Also, just noticed the CIs appear to have tree layers. The outer layer is a "tuning" layer. I assume I can take that off and just leave the other two if needed for fitment (shovement  )? Or is the tuning layer for foam performance, not tweaking the fit?Thx......... |

It is so they properly fill out and support the tire. Run without the tuning layer first just to see how you like it.

I believe they recommend undersizing the foams 1/4" compared to the tires OD. You can undersize the foams further to soften them and get them to conform to the terrain even more. |

I thought the same thing, didn't include the tuning rings just do to the size. And regret not adding them.  |
