Had my R-1 front tires foam filled,it really added the weight to them. I figured I would be ahead to go with the foam filled and not have anymore flats.
The R- 1 front tires and rims loaded 134 lbs each.
My(spares) R-4 front tires and rims no fluid or foam 46 lbs each.

When I had some small implement tires filled I was told foam filled tires were heavier than water filled.

How does filling tires affect future dismounting?
What are the options to fill with?
Who usually performs this service?

Future dismounting...the tires will have to be cut off the rims.
My local tire shop has someone that fills the tires for them,I do not know if there are any different type of foams. I previously had been getting my tires liquid filled for about $ 50.00 but one flat tire can waste a lot of money.

If you don't mind my asking, what size tires are they and how much did it cost to have them filled?

They were wheelbarrow sized on a trailer. $35 per tire. that is the minimum. I seem to remember something about $1 per pound. That was about 10 years ago.
