He's right. Before the closed cells hit the market we would turn the tires inside out and cut all of the sidewall ribbing out. Then we would use the F300truck foams and radius or 45 the outside edges of the foam. Panther released slicks but no one runs them. We just grind the tread off the Switches.

JC closed cells are too wide for the Panther tires. I like to use the Proline and AKA closed cells. Right now I'm more in favor for the AKA's.
