Well, ummmmm..... if there is no chance they go flat with foam in them why even bother to plug the holes up???

That's a good question. To keep out water? Just plain looks better? It seems like the foam would expand throughout the space between the tire and rim and maybe even come out the "breather" hole a little at the end of the process. Someone who knows more about foaming tires than I do is going to have to answer that one!

At least it would keep people from wondering why there are roofing nails with washers stuck in their tires. :D

I have seen all terrain man lifts with what looks like the head of a 3/8" bolt in each tire. I asked they guy servicing one of them about the bolt heads, he said the tires were foam filled.
