After having to deal with a flat garden tractor tire for the umpteenth time, I decided to investigate the world of polyurethane foam-filled tires, and thought I would pass along this info in case you’re interested.

Your old tires can be filled at:

Tucker Tire Co Inc
605 E Renfro St
Burleson, TX 76028
(817) 295-0493

Cowser Tire & Svc
140 N Saginaw Blvd
Saginaw, TX 76179
(817) 847-9800

Cowser charges $1.15 per pound of polyfill, until you get up to 300 pounds, then it gets cheaper. You can estimate the costs of filling a tire by looking at the volume guide.

New, prefilled tires are available at:

Poly-filled tires aren’t cheap, and are significantly heavier than air-filled tires (one manufacturer says “Polyfill'd tires add weight to provide extra ballast for improved equipment stability”--it’s not a bug, it’s a feature!) but may be worth it if your frustration level gets high enough.
