run-flat foam?
Posted: Thu Dec 30, 2010 1:04 pm
Anybody tried using run-flat foam in their tires? It seems this would be a good solution for off-road flats, but maybe I'm missing something?

Hi Mike & Jeff Thanks for the quick responses! Obviously my intent to is to, as much as possible, "flat-proof" my KLR tires. What I had in mind is something like the Arnco Flatproofing system (http://arnconet.com/flatproofing/superfills/formulas/repneu2.htm#), which I know is used in many military tires. Don't know about the USMC KLRs, though. I had expected the solution to be some sort of polyurethane expanding foam spray. Mike, I'm fairly new to this list and don't know who "Fred" is, but the HD tubes sound like a good idea. Jeff, the Bib Mousse solution is new to me, but seems like an excellent idea. Currently I'm running my '09's original tires and the BMs work only with Michelins. My current tires are in excellent shape and I'd prefer to not change to Michelins if possible. I note the BMs are certified only to 80 mph, but online comments state guys in the Dakar race run them offroad at more than 80 all the time without problems. Several complaints about them quickly breaking also found online, but we must wonder whether those complainers installed the units incorrectly(?) I also see TireBalls at http://www.tireballs.com/ . Any experience with these? Their website says the Border Patrol and Navy SEALs are using them, although I assume that's on their "dune buggies" and not motorcycles. Thanks again.
