This thread is about foam tyres (as used for carpet and tarmac racing), not foam inserts for rubber tyres.
I've been running foams for years, starting back when on-road racing involved buggies with foam tyres... is history trying to repeat itself? They're great for tarmac racing, but only if they come trued and glued onto wheels. Otherwise it's more effort than most people will want to go to. Even if a donut is advertised as 'trued', once you've glued it onto a wheel it will still need truing some more.
I remember the joy most on-road racers had when decent rubber tyres came out for touring cars and ended truing, gluing, chunking and constant ride height adjustments as the tyres wear out.
