- OK, I have a few small rubber tires that I wanted to make into "solid core" tires. They are for implements like a York Rake and mower deck. I have NO idea why they were designed as pneumatic tires to

- If you're talking about the expanding foam stuff that is intended for use around the house filling holes, gaps, etc., I suspect that it won't work for your purposes. It gets hard and quite crumbly af

- I haven't tried it, but I don't think it would work very well. That insulation foam isn't very strong and completely inflexible, so anything that deforms the tire will also deform the foam; which I

- I haven't tried using anything but what the tractor folks put in, but I doubt that expanding foam would work. First, you need the foam to support the weight of the implement. The tires on mine run a

- Randall, this is what I was looking for, but I wanted something I can do myself. This product needs to be professionally done and is expensive. What did you search on that you found results? I can't

- Hmm, I see what you mean. Found one place that would do a 8.00x15 tire for _only_ $200; and another site talking about how tire dealers can make more money filling tires than selling them. I used ["

- The material used to fill the tires isn't cheap, nor is the equipment used to pump it into the tire. I don't know what you get punctures from, but you can get armored inserts that fit between the tir
