I ran mine on Maximizers with the foams that come with the tires for a short period of time. I did not like them. The carcass of the tire is too gooshy for my taste, but the tread blocks are great. I run the tires on narrowed beadlocks now, airtight (@atmospheric pressure) with no foams. They work very well for me now.

Use the search button and you'll find numerous topics on this.... Most of us do not run any foam and run them on narrowed wheels.

I run mine with the foams narrowed and triangles cut out on the imex pluto 1/8 scale buggy wheels. I like them better with the foams.

i run mine on narrowed rims that are about 1.5" wide. i cut probably about 1/2"-3/4" off the foams ( width wise) and run them. i run foams because the tire is so soft. it works good for me. its just all trial and error and see what works best for ya

I run mine without foams, and a big hole drilled in the RPM StableMaxx wheels. And I still don't think they're pliable enough for the lightweight truck I have. However, on the TXT I use, with air-tight Maximizer wheels, no foams, they work well. |

I havn't run mine yet. But mine have air valves in them so that i can use air to hold them. It is great cause i can let the pressure out to be the equivalent of no foams or i can give them a few pumps to be a little more firm or i can pump them up real good and then they grow an inch. It is pretty cool. Just about to make a thread on this.
