TRC Park tires

[hsw21]

Guys

Just got a set of these TRC park tires.
Tried it today and if we do a lot of turns (like driving a circle), the tire will deform. It is like the side wall is to soft or foam is to soft, but I have to give it a massage to bring it back to its own shape.
What I meant by deform is that, you know, when we make turns, tires flexes to one side, right.

yeah thats exactly whats happened, but it never go back to normal (front only though, the rear seems like going back to normal shape after turns, I believe its due to rear tires touching pavement all the time so it flexes right/left evenly).

Any opinion guys ?

thx

Stiffer foams would help this. You can see my truck having the same problem.

did you drill holes in your rims?

Hi
Can you point out which foam will fit to my tires?
I like the tires coz it make a screeching sound (spell right ?) like the real car's tires.
The only thing I hate is that deforming.
So if you can give me a link to the foam, that would be great.
Thx

http://www.unlimitedengineering.com Go to products, and proline, look for either the Gray firm foams, or Racer's edge 3 peice.

You can use www.google.com to find what they are. and make your choice.

Hi sevenfoot

Thx for the info.
I checked my rims and yes, it has holes in it.
But when I squeezed it, tires flattened and go back to normal very slowly, do I need more holes then ?
Thx

do they have two holes? one doesn't work very well. If they have at least two, then the stiffer foam will be the only way to go.
