that happened to most of my foams. you can fix them with pipe insulation from the hardware store. http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=21416-1410-S12XB/6&lpage=nonei flatened it out and used spray adhesive to stack 2 peices. trimmed the sides so it fits nicely in the tires and used a regular hot glue gun to join the 2 ends together. the one i linked to you is a nice, soft rubber verse the others wich is a foam. you'll have to do all 4. it makes the tires harder and gives less tire roll wich helps spto the side wall from ripping. ive done this to all 3 rigs.

they don't have the nice soft rubber ones. only the airbubble foam. both work well, but the airbubble foam doesn't glue well.
