I didn't know that the Pit tires mount to foam rims; how does that work?!
Don't get confused by the labels, the "hard" rears are stickier than any other tire out there and hold up much better than their other "softs", you will be welcoming all the steering you'll get from the matching fronts. 571 and 572 will rock that 104 on both surfaces.

Mounting the tires on the 104 foam rims is cake, just get em on the right way, the lip folds over the outside of the rim and the inside mounts flush with the rim.
If the Ride rims are the same crap quality as their 103 rims, I'd run from those also. One hit and they break like glass and the tire goes to shit.
