Title: foamed tires
Post by: fisher on April 21, 2009, 11:02:54 pm

How much weight differance is there between foamed tires and tube tires?
Any tricks that should be known beforehand would be appreciated.
eg.  how much to use?

 Fisher, that question was asked here before. Look under General discussions, page 2, & look under weight, posted by Frank Walsh. He thought it doubled in weight. Mike, in 57 rebuild had new tubes put in his tires. While @ the shop, he sized up a foam filled tire there. He also thought it was a lot of extra weight.
