Default Hypothetical tire question.

Hi,

Lets say I have a very soft tire (e.g. Sorex 20) that I want to use on a relatively high grip carpet track. What kind of insert should I use to prevent overheating as much as possible but at the same time make it driveable?
I.e. what should I look for: Foam insert, moulded insert, much airgap, little airgap, hard insert, soft insert etc.?

Also, would anti roll bars (or a high roll centre) help prevent overheating with less amount of weight being transferred causing less friction?

Regards
