Foams for low profile staggered ribs
 
Can someone suggest the best foams for these tires? I know most people don't run foams in them, but I personally find them more consistent with foams in them, but find the foams that are used in most 2wd front tires make them bulge up a bit too much.

I run them without. Tried cutting some regular fronts down to fit?

Dan Pickard 29-05-2012 07:17 PM

Yeah I was hoping to find a more consistent alternative to cutting them down each time :)

Why would you want to put foams in a tyre that didnt have enough grip in the previous format? Schumacher have done a great thing with the new tyre which saves the driver having to cut slots in the blocks to give more grip! Why oh why would you want to reduce grip by adding a foam insert?
Discuss - I cant wait.

Would it be correct to say if you find them more consistent with foams, you have fitted some,

Using inserts that is made for touringcars is also a good option. :thumbsup:

But use the foam ones, not the preformed stuff.

If you read my original post genius you would see that I am not asking whether or not they work, I am asking if anyone knows of some low profile foam inserts, as the standard ones are a bit too big. And as you are asking questions about whether or not I have tried them, I am assuming that you are unable to help me with my quest. ;)
