Foam tire fill

2 Bears · Feb 28, 2018

Anyone using it on compact/subcompacts?

I read a bunch of really old threads but havent found many new ones.

Tyrfil claims there flex product is close to airfill, any one have experience. I wouldnt mind avoid flats for the life of the tires as long as it didnt mean riding like concrete filled tires.

In my experience foam filling is really expensive and rough riding. I don’t know about “tyrfil” though. I always recommend using slime or equivalent to my mowing/tractor customers. Only thing it doesn’t help with is large cuts. In some cases foam filling is so permanent that you have to buy new wheels when the tire wears out.

I have foam filled tires, they are a little rougher but not drastically.
Yes they are fairly expensive to have done.
The front tire weight makes it grab better.
I can run over anything and not worry about puncturing them, works perfect for brush work.
I also have mine studded for winter use, without the wear that chains can cause!
Instead of replacing the tires when they wear down, you can have them recapped and they are as good as new.

Any idea on the fill brand? Tractor size/ballpark cost?

I'm not sure on price as they were done before I got it.
Looks like it's around $200 each tire for the fronts.
I've heard that they are about
They are Polyurethane filled.
Medium cushion, better when the loader is on it.
