What type of surface are you running on? I like foam tires, but I use a fairly high shore since I run in parking lots with my on road, something like a 40 shore. I like the grip better than any rubber tires I have used, and they dont seem to wear out any quicker. They can chunk though if you are running on some rough or torn up surfaces.

I drive mostly on the streets or parkinglots. Send me a link where is could some good stong foam tires. would a 31mm tire give me more stability then a 26mm tire??

It won't really make a big difference, especially running around a parking lot and streets. What car do you have? I found a carbon fiber upper deck in conjunction with a set of anti sway bars really helped the handling on my RS4 3

I have an RS4 Evo and added the carbon upper deck, changed the springs, and shock oil, but no sway bars yet, and it really helped. I'm still using the HPI X-pattern "Belted" tires that came with it and they've held up great to rough street asphalt use...

Never used foams myself, always figured they were for carpet. Didn't realize they had a foam that would handle a paved street. To me, foams go on the inside of the tire! LOL

HPI does offer a 31mm tire in their nostalgia series, along with a matching wheel. Some of their car bodies, like the DeTomaso Pantera, Plymouth Cuda, etc. use them on the rear. You can also use 31mm all four corners to take a 190mm electric out to 200mm to fit a wider selection of bodies...

HTH...

from what i can tell about your car, those rims should fit. the tires you posted are pretty good on road grip tires, i have a set for my hpi e10 and tamiya ta05 and they grip well. if you are wanting to drift the car however, those would not be a good tire. and from my experience you are going to have alot of control issues if driving on bad surfaces(i.e - loose gravel on blacktop or poorly poured blacktop/cement) find a good smooth, manicured strip of virgin blacktop and let her rip. oh and btw, posts are useless without pics, we like action pics the best! :thumbup:
