First off, I searched the forum as best I could before posting this, but came up dry (lots of threads discussing, lots of questions, few solutions).

Given the cost of a new set of wheels/tires, and the fact that there are many potential failure modes: a hub may crack but the tire is good, a tire may tear while the hub is good, the foams wear out and the tire & hub are both still usable...

Has anyone found a suitable replacement foam for the dBoots Copperhead 2 tires? I know Arrma discontinued the foam inserts for the original Copperheads AR550013, but are there other brands that fit?

Thanks!
 
Honestly most times it isn't worth the time and effort to unglue and mount a new tire and foam when you can get a full new set for around $50

I guess in my mind if they were $20 for a set, it would be worth it (especially if replacing the foams in a set of wheels that are otherwise still usable). But you're right it's a pain in the a$$ to get the tires off the rims without ripping them and injuring yourself in the process.

If and when the time comes, going to local hardware, and craft stores in search of something to custom cut. Something like this...
