Foam insert broken - What to do? -
08.28.2009, 10:25 PM
Hey guys, just started to mount my rulux wheels on my badlands, and all the tires were fine except one foam insert tore, and it leaves an empty spot in the tire. I e-mailed proline to see if I could get another one, but I dont want to go to the trouble. Could I fill in the holes with cotton balls (Compacted) or some other material that resembels the foam or should I just go with the new inserts?

What I would do is get the missing piece that tore off and put it back in and duct tape the thing to hold it together. IMO

I guess I must have not explained my self properly, heres a pic. When I stretch the tire on the wheel, the foam seperates even more. Would duct tape be a permanent solution?

i am losing my faith in proline and going to start buying only aka. a couple weeks ago i was doing some speed runs out in the street (only topped out at 50mph) and i had a set of new calibers that the foams tore inside the tire. i mean, its not like i was doing 100mph. so now i have these brand new calibers that were $60+ and the all have a "blank" spot with no foam and no way to fix since they are preglued. then i mounted some new bow ties and they all came unglued. they have been ok since i have re-glued them myself. and also a set of pre-mount revolvers came unglued. anyway, i was pretty disappointed in prolines stuff. my akas didnt do this. nor did my jconcepts.

yeah , VP Pro makes good tires.
i too had the same problem with my 40's doing 60mph. big knots formed inside the tire. they were already glued so 30$ tires gone. |

Yeah, AKA all the way, much better quality tire, much better performance and last quite a bit longer as well.
