Foam filled tires

[jekjr]

Do any of you guys have experience on foam filling tires on a zero turn? I have a ZD326 Kubota and we are constantly fixing tires. I ran them tubeless. Then put in tubes. Both ways we have had problems. I am looking at either foam filled or possibly tubeless and about a half gallon of Green Slime in each front tire. Any other suggestions?

Have you tried the slime tubes?

Foam is a good way to go. Remember without air its going to be bouncy

DO NOT slime or fix-a-flat the tires, it will start to dry-rot from the inside out, best to get the run flat tires from Kubota or if they are 13x6.5-6 and Kubota does not have them, get a set from JD and paint them.
Now I will warn you, I just changed out my run flats on my new JD Thursday and put on pneumatic tires, it really helped "like daylight and dark difference" with the front bunny-hop bounce you get from the run flat or foam filled tires and I do not feel every little bump or ditch in the yard like I use to.

I agree do not use fix a flat but slime does not do the damage as fast. Takes a few years

Wonder what would happen if I just put slime in the tubes that I have now? I never thought about trying that.

That is one thing I am concerned about. They are so stinking bouncy now that it is hard to stay on them sometimes on real rough ground and we cut some very rough stuff.
