Tire foams falling apart
I keep going through tire foams in the rear.
I pull the tires off the rims and the foams come out like powder!
Any suggestions?
I'm running Imex Romulin rims with Imex Step Dawg tires if that makes a diff.

RE: Tire foams falling apart
when you put your foams in your tires, Put a belt of Duct tape around the foam so that it cannot stretch out during high g forces. (fast spinning tires)

RE: Tire foams falling apart
I suspect that the CA glue breaks down the foam as well. Something better than foam like neoprene would be cool. My foams last only a couple of months.

RE: Tire foams falling apart
rather than stick the tape around the foam - stick it too the inside of the tyre. u will really minimise the ballooning then. worked a treat for me on my buggy dirt hawks - night and day difference.
forgot - if possible use tape with a weave in it - it doesnt stretch at all.
