Loading Tire's

[Kubota 2007]

Thinking about loading the rear tires on my L4200, any Idea what tire shops or dealer would charge. I want either windsheild wash or Rim Guard.

Before you load the tires, also get the price for foaming the tires. With foam the tires become worry-free: you can run over nails and laugh.

Very true with the foam filling (got mine done on my BX) but they also make for a rougher ride due to no air in the tires to absorb the bumps.

How heavy is the foam? Is it heavy enough to serve as ballast?

My understanding is that it is as heavy, if not heavier, than beet juice. Foam dealer would be better person to answer this question than me.

If you are running AG 16.9 x 24 tires...
They will hold 61 gallons each
RimGuard will weigh 652 pounds..
Windshield fluid weigh 456 pounds...
The cost will be about the same per gallon.

Foam filled is VERY expensive.

Very expensive but a one time thing as you will never have to worry about a flat from those tires again. It cost me $800 for my front tires on my BX2660 cause they also have to put a tube in to fill them.

I would tell you how much RimGuard it would take... But the chart doesn't go down to tiny tires... If it took $800 to foam your 18x8.5-10 tires... you could have them both filled with RimGuard for less than $20 .
