In my very limited experience of foam tires, they generate a lot of black dust when they wear (regardless of addative), this has to go somewhere and be cleaned up by someone, another job for them very few club volunteers.

The issue at the world, was that there was a control additive, and people were using other additives, as the control one didn't work.
Right, in buggies, you get no advantage to trying them down skinny, but they do need truing to make them round and take out wear from running camber. You can't run down to soft on the shore rating, as you get grip roll, and additive just makes it worse.
Alsom they only then work if the track is 100% carpet, put a bit of shiny on the corners, and they are pants.
We allow them at our club, and a lot of drivers go back to rubbers as it makes the cars easier to drive.
