RE: tire foams
All I can suggest is to dismantle the tire and rim, inspect the foam. If it looks good reinstall and give it a couple rounds of duct tape. If there are any ugly spots, or tears, you need new foams. If they are HPI foams they are probaly good to go. I have had a few ProLine foams blow out of the tire. It is quite the site and sound. LOL

RE: tire foams
On the outside of the foams to help prevent them from falling apart. I tapped up my HPI stock foams for my hostile MXT's tires with strapping tape, just to be on the safe side.
