Other than that, foam is the only way to go.

The "K" type tires (or 'K'it tires) are a medium compound and work good on grass, soft dirt, some loose dirt and probably carpet.. They are not very good for hard dirt or indoor clay tracks (I can confirm this from experience).. If you plan to race on a harder track, then you will want to invest in a softer compound tire. The good news is there are tons of aftermarket tires and wheels that directly fit onto the Durga. Panther, J-Concepts and Pro-Line just to name a few.

Let me know if you need more information.
Do the tyres come with foam inserts, or do I need t purchase them seperately?
Thanks!
