Yeah, they do this all the time. They sauce the tires and then place them into a shock air remover. Pump the air out and watch the traction compound absorb into the foam. What ever air that might be in the foam is drawn out and replaced with traction compound.

Super fast, and works like a treat.

Did this with F1 foams back in the 90's
Was worth the trouble on asphalt

Make sure there's no silicon oil residue in that pump, before you try this
