Foam tires or replace?

[RaydaKub]

When it comes time to replace the tire how do they remove it from the rim if it is foamed. Cut it off ??

Yup...

I went to a large AG tire place near Stockton CA... they foam fill and recap tires.

I was told I could have my foam filled tires recapped or they will just cut them from the rim when the time comes.

Yep, cut it off (with a sawzall or something) and mount a new tire.

The quoted $648.00 (each tire) at the local heavy equipment shop. $2.00 per pound they said. That would make my wheels weigh over 300 lbs each.
DANG-IT
That's about 200 more than I want to deal with.
That place is a semi-tractor-trailer shop and they are way to high on everything.
I am not going to worry with that for now. I'll just get new Sampson (Samson ?) tires and tubes.
