they're not exactly killing anything, but it creates A LOT more problems than rubber tires to beginners, such as :

droop changes

ride height also

roll center(?)

worst of all: the rollout keeps changing: so a novice has to get at least 3-4 pinions for a racing day outdoors, pointless.

plus they chunk if you put additive on it several times a day, so in fact it makes it hard for clubs to offer handout foamies, etc, etc...

plus tire truers, etc, i'm not teaching you anything anyway : foams end up being A LOT more expensive than rubbers
