WildManDriving,

For inserts inside the Sweep 40's, 33's and 25's you can use any of the moulded mini inserts. The sweep variants come in pink (softest), aqua(medium) or green(hardest).

The Ride inserts which are the same size will also fit and they come in yellow, orange and green. (green again the hardest)

The Solaris mini tyre inserts are the same colours and the ride and fit the same. I have not tried a foam insert in a Sweep tyre, so can not give any feedback.

If you purchase the Sweep 40's with rims, tyres and inserts you will find they come with the pink insert. I replace this with the green insert for the front tyres.

Hope that is what you were after.

Regards,

Calvin.

I have since found you can purchase these pre-glued and the tyres seem to have a soft insert fitted. I think I would be only trying them on the rear. If fitted to the front I think they would have too much side bite because of the air gap. These were in 25, 33 and 40 configuration.

Calvin.
