If you have a set of junk rims, this may be a good idea, otherwise I would suggest inner tubes, but they are blasted expensive today.


I have done this expanding builders foam with trash tires on parts cars, and it works..

Please note the tire needs to be warm, roughly 70° F during curing as per product direction, for fastest - best result.
