Noticed rear tyres shaking lots when driven on hard surfaces undone one to check foam to find it falling apart. Undone the other to find foam turned into powder . How long does foam normally last, these are not new but far from used up. I simply packed in new foam no big deal just curious if anyone else had same prob.

I know that there was an issue with the foams falling apart when the Rampage first came out, didn't know if they made improvements on them. Is there anywhere that you can buy the foams seperate from the tires?

I was in a hurry because i wanted to use it. The foam i used was under lay u put on your bed, cut to width and length and put in tyres a little pushing and shoving but found them to firm up the tyres nicely. Done some high speed runs and had no problems yet guess ill see what happens.
