Hey, Randy...nice to hear from you. And even nicer to hear the TOTH foam padding works so well. I'm running the same Goodyear "Billboard" tires, but with the laser-cut grooves in them. And, like you, I've experienced the tires picking up almost everything in the road. They seem to grip very well, but they sure do pick up rocks and everything else...! My only complaint is - since they are bias-ply tires - how they dart around and follow every ridge, rut, crack and crevice in the road when they're cold, and flat-spot overnight. Most of that goes away once they warm up, but you really have to be alert when you're driving off on cold tires. But, I sure like the way they look and how they grip. I'll need some new track tires this year, and I'm thinking about the same Goodyears, but the slicks instead of grooves. They seem to be a good choice for 15" wheels. Did you get yours at Roger Krause Racing?

Tony...sounds like you indeed have a cheaper version of the same thing, and your foam is a little thicker, too. Wish I had thought about your approach before I bought the kit from TOTH. Have you had any problems with the 3M adhesive coming loose once the weather gets warm...?
