Tankman 3,523 #1 Posted December 31, 2014 Any opinions, suggestions, about Horses with foam filled tires? I've been giving the idea a little thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rick 255 #2 Posted December 31, 2014 I have, too. There was some traffic on here a year or two ago about foam in tires. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clip 185 #3 Posted December 31, 2014 Are you trying to add weight or reduce the chance of flats? I added 5 gallons each to my 20x10-8s on the Cub Cadet (no tubes) and it helped quite a bit. Then I got the Work Horse and mounted the included wheel weights with the same results. Thought about adding liquid but the weights are easier to mount and remove, and don't interfere with changing tires when the time comes. If you're preventing flats, maybe a tire with more plies would be a good option too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leeave96 490 #4 Posted December 31, 2014 My understanding is foam filled tires make for a very bumpy ride? I like wheel weights. Good luck, Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fun Engineer 859 #5 Posted December 31, 2014 Foam filled ride harder and are a pain when they need to be dismounted. I've used foam in a loaders front tire. Sent from my tractor seat. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankman 3,523 #6 Posted December 31, 2014 Thanks Fun Engineer, my thoughts exactly. Currently usin' weights and chains when icy. Was thinkin', "Why go through the aerobics getting under the Horse checkin' tire air pressure." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fun Engineer 859 #7 Posted December 31, 2014 Tank man On my current tractor I have 60# of RimGuard in each tire and an additional 80# of suitcase weights with two link chains on HDAP tires. The two link provide better traction than the four link. Sent from my tractor seat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankman 3,523 #8 Posted January 1, 2015 Never had the need for liquid filled tires but, would use Rimguard if I did. Isn't Rimguard borsch? If stranded could save you from starvation. Take the tire off and put it on the engine to warm the Russian beet soup. Remove tire stem valve, insert straw. Yummy! I can hear your rescuer, "Isn't that borsch I smell? Beet soup anyone?" Happy New Year Engineer! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

decksetter 50 #11 Posted January 2, 2015 I thought about foam filling tires, but I like to air down tires to install the chains in winter then air back up into them. I don't think I could do that with foam fill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
