I can say that the molded inserts making tire/wheel working MUCH easier. I have hated and always will hate dealing with the regular foam inserts, whether it's fitting the foam inside the tire, or even gluing the tire to the wheel.

A couple days ago I was driving my Hyper 8 when one of the molded foams ripped out after tearing in half. The thing is, the tires (Road Rages) were so worn down that the sidewalls were almost gone. A tear in the sidewall allowed the molded foam to fly out.
