Flat Tires are Evil why can't they foam fill

Ok i know on machinery they foamfill tires why can't they do it on cars ...shouldn't it act the same as air like in pressure wise, and it woudl eliminate flat tires. Because a real bad hail storm went through our town and everyoen is reshingling which means there is debree all over town on the roads such as roofing nails old rusty ones etc. I just got my first flat today and it was Roofing Nail, and im sure its the first of many.

?!?!?!? I want to FOam FIll but i bet theres some reason why people don't ...

Well - don't see why you started two threads on the topic, but...

Have you ever picked up a foam filled tire?
Do you know how much foam filled tires cost?

If not, I will just say - they would add a few hundred pounds to your car and it would probably cost you more than a couple of sets of Michelin Pilot Sports.

Understood. The board has been slow here lately - so a lot of stuff is getting double posted.

However - you can delete one of them since they are your threads if you want too - just go into it, and click edit delete below your post, and then click the delete box at the top of the next page.
