the harder the tire, the less wear you ll have. the softer the tire the more traction you ll have.
stock foams work pretty well, but atleast do the molded for the fronts.
but in the end, the Hostile Foams are actaully less expensive (here stateside) than the HPI foams, with the Hostiel Zero Growth Foams being an exception. they are a few dollars more than the HPIs, and worth it.

hi mike,
taping the foams, just use some duct tape. just put the duct tape round the foams not to tight and just a couple of times round.this stops the foams from expanding.

when taping started it was actually to the inside of the rubber to stop the tires from ballooning. it was most common in 1/8 truggies as the front end turned into a pizza cutter. duct tape, fibre carpet tape etc all have the strength. some even shoe goo'd that stuff on. taping the foams won't help the tires ballooning and extra hards shouldn't balloon much anyway
