They aren't supposed to hold air there is foam inside, if it was to hold air and then you landed it, it would bounce so therefore it is easier to mantain and works better.

As bmoc stated, you don't want them to hold air, the truck would bounce all over the place. You should have a hole on the inside of the rim to let the air out. You do want to be sure to glue the tires to the rims, I use a heavy ca glue for this. Also a good investment are the trinity three piece foams, these will help improve handling.
 
If you find that after you squeeze the tire it takes a moment for the tire to inflate again, then you my have to make the hole on the inside of the wheel a bit bigger. I've had to do that with my NMT wheels. The predrilled hole was not large enough so the tire would stay deformed for afew seconds causing all kinds of handling issues. Once I made the hole bigger it was fine.

As NCNITRO said....better foams = better handling.
 
NCNitro do you have a link to the Trinity three piece foams, I would like to buy them.
Just using the stock foams at the mo.
