dont use the yellows way to hard, stock proline moldeds will be fine or just the stock whites

I forget what foams to use outdoor soft or hard. Myself,I already have a set of those with RE foams that just need a set of rims.
But I run the orange indoor and they feel good.

depends on the track conditions, smooth tracks usually prefer a harder foam but the yellow is way to stiff

so the stock PL foams will be fine? will they last as long as the tires themselves? I have heard of guys cutting tires open when bad and just taking the ofna premolds out and reusing them, they seem more cost effective for a tight budget racer on that note IMO, just curious, Im open to all suggestions, tell me about the stock PL foams Mike, what will there duration be like?

the proline MTR tires are all coming with moldeds now, although i ran a set of CF's all season with the stock whites and i would still use them now, guys get too caught up in the foam thing in UMT and MT the tires are so huge as long as something decent is in there they will be fine

I liked the orange foams in a set of crimefighter M/T's ... I found they added alot of steering to the tires and still had a smooth complient ride.
... But if they come with moulded foams now just use those...

So is there a 'golden rule' or whatever for what foam for indoor and outdoor? Or has that become whatever feels good due to the amount of choices now.

I wouldnt fully believe what Amain says. I saw the Boa C's had the gray foams with them when they come with white now.
