Your referring to buying tires already mounted to the rims, correct??? Just making sure that I havent been missing out on some great technological innovation!!

We had a vendor come in a couple years ago and they claimed they were a year away from releasing a closed cell foam tire for the automotive industry, and they were looking at developing industrial casters with that same stuff. Lightweight and never goes flat. But I havent seen hide nor hair of them since. They even left me a small cross section of the tire - but I threw all of that out a while back. I'll have to dig around with some of my suppliers to see if they are still going down that road.

Brian - just glue the living snot out of them, run it through the dirt and get some good road rash on the sides of the tires. Then never clean them. Good to go!
