I did a search around and pretty much couldn't find an answer to this but someone must know about foam tires for touring cars.
1) Is there different foams as far as soft, medium, and hard? How can you tell for a first time buyer as if one were to shop online? Most searches I have done for shoppping online have not mentioned soft, medium or hard. They just mention like HPI mentions (32, 35, 37, 40) or (A, B, C, D, E). And Jaco has (green, aqua, purple, black) butthey do also mention (medium and firm). Are the colors from Jaco actually the color of the foam because I would hope not as I like to stick to black tires.
2) If there is different grade foams available, what would be better for a parking lot race? I understand that foam would not even last the way rubber tires do, but foam would be better for good grip racing. Besides, tire wear can result from anything from suspension tuning to driving skills.
Thanks.....RJ
