Don't know if some of the newer molded foams can handle that much heat but the older cut foams actually come out good as new.
NOTE: If your wing or another plastic part is deformed, you can also place it in the oven and it will return to it's original shape. Boiling them also works.
+1 I use welding gloves, put them in the freezer when you put the tires in the oven (cool hands). If the tire does not pop of easily just put it back in the oven for a few more min.
