silicone tyres?

Anyone ever smeared tube silicon onto foam tyres for grip.....I think it would work ...but my fears are i will wreck my newly made foam tyres with this idea. Any one tried it?

It should work, but the results vary. People often use like shoe glue on them and stuff.

i fill them up with hot glue and sand it flat again when chunks get torn out. Killers tyres are a good 50% hot glue now lol. does that count? Smile
