Do you guys run the HPI foams? If not, what is your preferred brand?
I use to run HPI foams, but they seemed to chunk a lot. I switched to Jaco nitro shoes and they seem to be of better quality and are less prone to chunking.
I think any brand of tire can bend in a crash. The cheap way to fix the problem is to take the bend out with a heat gun and then balance the wheel. Obviously the easier way is just to replace it.
Take care.
