the ebay alternatives! I found a guy who sells pre-mounted knockoff badlands, and it was like $18 for all 4, shipped from florida. The rims broke kinda easily, but the tires last forever. I bought them quite a while ago and never had to buy another pair of tires since. Unless you race, its truly the way to go. i leave tiretracks all over the place, and the tires barely show any wear!
also, IMO the AKA tires seem to last alot longer than the proline, and are some pretty high quality stuff too. they also use closed cell foam. that with LPR wheels and tires, and ballooning should be a thing of the past... Well, it still balloons, but not much at all. no pizza cutters. nothing close to pizza cutters.
there's not much i know about touring cars, but I believe the same concepts above could be applied.
and on the whole expanding foam issue, why not spray the foam in before you glue the tires? then if there is any bulgy area you can use an xacto and trim it out. once it fits nice and snug, glue it up!
