Keeping track of foams / tires Most of us run multiple wheel/tire combos on any given day and different foams from front to rear. Sure, you can try and go by squeeze or feel, but I've found unless it's a fairly big difference in foams, you're pretty well guessing. Anyway, what I do any time I mount up new tires and foams, is mark the rear wheelset. I use a red sharpie, or even some red paint and color the inside of the hub. (Red for Rear - R for R). Takes the guess work right of it for me and then I'm 100% sure I've got the wheels where they need to be front to back. "thumbsup" |
Re: Keeping track of foams / tires I've been marking them with sharpie. Red paint is smarter. Thanks for the tip. |
Re: Keeping track of foams / tires Similar story here but I use a silver sharpie to mark the inside face of the rim and I mark both front & rear. Not because I run multiple sets in a day or even in a month, but more because I often have all 4 wheels off while I'm wrenching. |
Re: Keeping track of foams / tires I use a silver paint pen on black wheels, or black on everything else. I put "S" for soft outer, "M" for medium, and add a "+" if there's any weights inside. I don't bother marking the closed celled ones since they're very obviously firmer. |
Re: Keeping track of foams / tires I take a soldering iron and "brand" the front 2 tires in some fashion since I've found that sharpie sometimes gets rubbed off. |

Re: Keeping track of foams / tires I do black Sharpie on the inside of the tire or inside of the rim if possible. |
Re: Keeping track of foams / tires Yup just sharpie the inside of the wheels. I've bought some tire & wheel combos used from CI and eddie uses a label maker to list what foams are inside the tires. |
Re: Keeping track of foams / tires I am kind of a goober and use a spread sheet. I have quite a collection of cars so keep track of all their specs, oil wts, electronics, setups, tricks and even "reapairs needed" :mrgreen: in Excel. Also have a column of unused build parts to know whats available without digging through tubs. Its kind of fun on its own actually. |
Re: Keeping track of foams / tires I mark the inside of the front wheel hub's so its not very visible when installed. |
