Default Foam insert for meat grinders

Hi guy and gals.
I'm looking to put a set of meat grinders on some new rims.
i've ordered some hobao st rims but need some advise on what foams to put in them as i can't find any of the shelf.
I've been told that you can use buggy foams in them as the side wall is quite thick.
Any advise would be appreciated with this.

Sorry, the tyres are for a truggy of course.

hi fella,

i use the standard foam inserts in mine and they have been good so far,but a bit on the soft side.

some people prefer to run hn yellow moulded inserts or lrp ones. i normally get any smd stuff from andy at pbm racing.

I would have to go with the moulded inserts if i am honest as whatever tyres i use i never use the stock inserts that come with them as find after a while they break up and go to powder.

With the moulded you normally can use time after time even when the tyres have died and gone to heaven you will find the moulded inserts are still good to re use in next set of tryes
