    Tire Foam

    I noticed my tires (stock) are going flat. The foam wont withstand any pressure its almost like i'm driving on my rims. Then i opened up my tires and found that my tire foam was scredded to dust peaces. Is the foam supposed to be glues to the tire or something? i'm geting some new tires anyways but the foam is completely shredded almost as if the foam was spinning against the tire. Has anyone else has this problem?

    Sounds to me like your foam is uneven. Try moving the foam around and experimenting. Have you glued your tires to the rims? Your tires might be comming off the rims. Or maybe your tires just dont have enough tread and are really soft. Id get new tires in that case but try what i said. Hope it helps.

    Are you running the stock tires. that tends to happen if you are running the stock tires. The foam that comes with it isnt that great and the tires that come with the rusty are pretty soft.

    I know for a fact that the tires were well glued to the rims because i had a rough time taking it apart. And yes hose are the stock tires. Due to the tread on the tires being highly worn i'm thinking of geting some bow ties because the places i run at are all hard packed dirt and those seem to do well on my dads truck. I will be geting a spair set of foam for my tires just incase.
