I run these:

with my holeshots in 4wd and 2wd rear, and these: http://www.rccarshop.co.uk/index.php...inserts-2.html in 4wd front. Ran cut foams in 2wd fronts.
They don't break down and the tyres run true and balanced as the inserts are round. The packed-in white foams never seem to run true/balanced, no matter how careful you are cutting them. I'm sure the unbalanced tyre/wheel will affect grip. the tyre carcass certainly seems to expand more on rotation, more than say a Schumacher Yellow, anyway.

Craggy, Bradders and the other CML/Proline sponsored guys seemed to be running 2-stage foam inserts in them, with a new set of tyres per race (I was told). They were certainly gluing up a lot of tyres.
