to foam or not to foam?

[4u2nv]

I have read that sometimes its better to remove the foam from tires. I do mostly offroading with my Tmaxx. No onroad driving at all. (Maybe a gravel road, usually just crossing one) Would I benifit from not having the foam in my tires? When a person buys tires does foam usually come with them? Or do you have to buy it seperate? Thanks again for all your help.
(I dont know what Id do without this site! Thanks!! :thumbup:

Without foams would give you insane traction, however since the lugs on most monster truck tires are already huge as it is keep the foams in there because the help keep the shape of the tire when driving at anything above a crawl.

Hey 4u -

If your mostly driving offroad it might greatly benifit you to not run foams. You get substantially increased traction and especially when your hill climbing and rock crawling. On-raod you'll roll allot easier and your truck will be ALLOT less stable @ high speeds. I've gots so many sets of stock Maxx tires now that I have one pair with good foam and one pair with no foam.

TO answer your question. Most tires do come with foam and some don't. You can also usually get "aftermarket" foam for many popular tires.

i would definately recommend running ur maxx with foams. the foams take some blunt of the impact, also it helps the tire keep its shape.
