foams can actually be used to tune your tires... they can prevent balooning, prevent sidewall washout, eliminate bounce, and protect your wheels in a crash (somewhat) but they clao can deveolpe flat spots, slightly increase weight, and fi any water gets in, you have to remove them to dry..

Well if your tires arent rolling then you have the ability to have LOTS better traction on all surfaces. Tread in contact with the ground VS. Sidewall is a big difference.
