[QUOTE="gtstang462002, post: 33679, member: 3704"] The local landscaping company that I maintain his equipment got away from foam filling his tires all together. He tells me that there is no differance in traction, yet when his guys rip the tread off the tire they just keep going till there is nothing left of the tire, foam and rim. He found that it was cheaper to buy just the tire and let them destroy that, once it is flat they stop using the machine till a new tire is installed. At least this way he doesn't have a pile of destroyed rims laying around. Plus the added savings of not foam filling the tires or having it cut out for the rim that is salvagable by the time his guys say something to me about it being messed up. I personally feel that if you are the owner/operator of the equipment it is a good investment, but if you have guys that jump in and tear it up save your money for tires that you are going to need anyhow.
