foams torn up by concrete
 
I'm purchasing a used mini-t and I need to get tires for it, will foam tires get fripped up by asphalt and concerete?

I run foams on asphalt and concrete all the time, and they hold up very well. Although I use tire conditioner on them regularly.

Why not get a set of the onroad tires for the Mini-T?

Asphalt tears up rubber tires faster than foams.

Indeed it does. Hot asphalt + rubber tires = bad. Foams are built to last.

Yes, my foam tires always outlast any rubber tires I have ever tried. I have some foams on the rear of one of my buggies that have been on there for almost 10 years, and they still work great. Mind you they have been trued quite a few times.

On a Mini-T...I would not get foams. I would recommend the Pro-Line Road Rage tires. They stick and stick hard.
