Default dex210 glueing tyres - aaagh!

Hi all.

I've just built my new dex210v2 and got to the point where I needed to fit the foams and glue the tyres.
I had no problem with the rears. The fronts I found very challenging though - I got the foams in fine but even warming the tyres in hot water to make them more malleable I struggled getting the tyres on the wheels. Finally on peeling the edges back to drop glue in was tricky and getting the tyres back down in the right place before the glue set was tough.
To sum up I've got front tyres that are not evenly seated all around and I think the foam might have been messed up inside in the process of getting the tyres on !
If I spin the wheel I can see its not seated evenly and is not balanced.

Any tips?
Can you buy the durango wheels anywhere with pre fitted/glued tyres?
I can't find any from searching.

From the "show us your durango" thread I see some with white wheels which I suspect are not durango? But other makes fit differently.

Any tips welcome.

I could always remove and try to refit, tips for that?

Cheers all.
