Im having a slight problem. I recently purchased some new rubber for my xxxnt, and the company i purchased them from, who i wont name(cough*proline*cough). Packages them crammed in a small box...lol i get these tires out and it has a flat spot that i could use as a level! i mean this this is flat. anyway my question is, does anyone know of anyway to get this out easily? how can i tru my tires properly? ive tried taking out the foam and just putting it over the rim for the night and then trying it in the rubber after but it presists on creating a enourmous wobble when i spin the tire. Also, these are my front tires, so i cant just give it gas, and use centrifical force to flatten them out, hense my car is 2wd. any help would be appreciated. thanks.:D :D :D

Put the inserts in a pot of warm water for a little while - they'll absorb the water, and freshen up their shape - then just squeeze them out dry.
