1.0" Foams

[HVACTeacher]

Hey y'all, I have a few 1" tires that I am unable to use due to the foams included.

I have ordered a set of the PL 1" foams but I am wondering if anyone has recommendations they could share? Thanks

Injora 1.0 inserts are really tough to beat.

I have a set of yellow Injora inserts and they are nice but they are a bit stiff in my fifty six by twenty mm Mickey Thompson Baja X Pro from RCfourwheeldrive. I want to tune them by cutting a bit here and there but they are expensive compared to foams and I don‘t want to ruin them. The only reason I use inserts is because I crawl on ocean rocks and there is salt water everywhere so foams would be messy.
Crawler Innovations makes really good looking foams and they are pretty cheap. You can cut them to make more than one from a package.

Thank you for the replies, I will check them all out.

I picked up some wheels and tires from LGRP but neither set can support the weight of my rigs.
I tried swapping in some stiffer foams I had from RC4WD but they made a marginal difference.

Let us know what ends up working for you.
Happy crawling!

My included Injora foams for my 1.0" tires were a little stiff but I really didn't want to order different ones since I had no idea if they'd be much better so I used a cut-off wheel in my Dremel and went all around each foam cutting slits about half way through. Improved the feel to a noticeable degree. Still retains the same sidewall stiffness close to the wheel but gave the outer tread portion of the tire a bit more flex to be able to grip/ form to the terrain.
