Called up a local place today to get a price on filling my tires with foam. I was thinking about 5-600$. The quote I got was $1682. That fills 2 27x15 ($157@) and 2 15x19.5 (684@). Even the quote for my mower was terrible ($200). Anybody had this done recently and does this sound like a current price?

ARRRGGGHHHHH! CRASH..............

That was the sound of me clutching my chest and falling out of my chair.
A local tire shop here used to charge about $15.00 for finish mower tires (3-4 yrs ago). Regardless of what they might charge now, your quote sounds outrageous. Just my 2 cents.

The little 4.10x3.50-5 tires on the mower were 15 each

Just had my BX tires filled. 310 pounds at $1.25 per pound. In on Friday late afternoon, picked up on Monday first thing in the morning. Cheap investment for the difference in the machine. 2 ea. 26x12-12 and 2ea. 18x8.5-10

The place had a chart that showed how many pounds a tire held and that's what he charged.

Are foam filled tires hard on the drive train and transmission?

Les Schwab charged me $2.00 a lb for foam fill on the front tires for my Kubota those are 9.5x16 I think. 168 lbs in each tire times two :eek:
