Default Lots of Questions about Foams

First off my brother and I Are like the only guys with nitro touring sedans, so all the info i get about cars are from these forums (THANKS FOR ALL THE INFO). Anyway we've been runnin HPI 26mm X-pattern radials. Well I was wondering if foams are better. I have a mugen MTX-2(love it) my bro has a Serpent impulse pro. Both came with foams when my rubber ran out i slapped the foams on and i like the way they stick, but are they really better than rubber. I run on all kinds of surfaces and still haven't found any solid info concerning foams so the questions are:

1. Benifits and disadvantages of no ring and multiring foams
2. Why use wider rear tires(I'm thinkin about gettin the 32mm yokomo tires rear, I don't race but i alway get roar legal engines and pipes(may want to race some day) so width of tires doesn't matter.
3. Also what is inch up on foam tires
4. Is a tire truer neccessary, nice to have, whats a great one for a reasonable price below $250

Thanks
