differences in types of fluid for filled tires

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Any idea what it costs to foam fill the tires? I am guessing it would prevent flats forever but does it really add any real weight?
Thanks )</font>

$$$$ and yes it does add a significant amt .of weight. I had the great pleasure of taking foam filled L4330 ft tire to the Kubota dealer a couple of months ago and I had to use a ramp to put it on the trailer.. there was no grabbing and just pitching that heavy $ob on the trailer /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

A local Dairy kept having flats because the feed wagon driver was hitting the concrete wall with the tire and poping it off the rim. costing $85. per repair, they had the tires filled with foam,now no more flats the drivers now take the wheel off the axle hitting the wall.
Feed wagon out of use for a week waiting for a new axle.
But the tires is holding the shape on the rim.
