Would you say that there is less grip with foams?
Looking at the 1/12th scale scene, everyone uses foams - it seems confusing to me why 1/10th electric uses rubber tyres 
Cheers, Mark.
Mark,
The Foams have much more grip. As for cost with foams, in theory they sound like they me be cheaper in the long run, but it all depends on how much you cut them down to match the diameters, if you chunk a tire you need to start over with a new set. the advantage with foams you have faster lap times because of the grip.
Look at the results from the Novak US touring car championships on this website or at
www.trackside.com for the final reults.
