OK bear with me folks... Bar tires just lack traction. Quad tires, my dream tire, lack ability to support the weight.

What if... What if.... What if I where to put either the R1 bar tires on the outside and put the quad tires on the inside. Bar tires take the weight and the side load stress and the quad tires beef the traction.

I must confess I have a new drug dealer, the new stuff might be too potent.

Just remember, once you fill them, you can never un-fill them. Doesn't leave much room to play with inflation, compression, etc....

Yeah, that was my thought. I really need to be able to see 4PSI for steep slopes and no way in heck that is going to happen with foam filled. It will be like riding on rock Ohhhh Flintstone tractor.

Foam filled tires are not nearly as bad riding as you guys make them out to be. It's very common on construction equipment and it gives you benefits like ballast and never having to worry about a flat tire. For the OP's concerns about load carrying capacity and good traction it could very well be an option.
