How do I DRY THE FOAM inside my tire?
I have 40 Series 24mm Cheyenne wheels with Big Joes tires on My Traxxas Summit. I love them however after some heavy creek bashing I noticed they absorbed a lot of water into the foams. After squishing them several times to squeeze the water out of the hole I let them sit to dry for several days if not weeks, well now I guess it is still a little wet in some spots (kinda like a flat spot in a tire because they sat) so when I drive they wobble badly.
Should I just drill several some small holes into the thick tread or something? Anyone know a good way to dry these foams? Thanks in advance for any help.

if you have access to a dehumidifier it works well. If i do allot of wet running i will put it in the room with the rc's for a day or so and drys them out well

Awesome guys thanks! Looks like I will go ahead and drill the holes, run it for a bit and then throw it in the spare room with the dehumidifier on high for a day or two. Thanks for the help!
