The inside air pressure helps the tire to remain tight with the rim to the ground. It aids air not to come out from the tire. As it has no tube, you have no tension to replace an inside tube at all. If you get leak in the flat tire, your duty is to repair the leak. Fill it with the air and set it up again with the lawn mower.

Avoid Flat Lawn Mower Tires

I face problem when I would like to fill the mower tire with air. I use Slime tire sealant. But the holes are not in a good condition. All tires become flat.
Then I have changed my idea. Now I like to use foam inside the tire instead of air. It works great.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Buy two cans of at least expanding rigid foam.
2. Jack up the mower.
3. Make a hole big enough so that the foam comes out of the hole. I keep the tire in such a way so that the valve of the tire remains to the top of it. Drilled once again to make hole to the center of the tread itself. Then take off the valve stem.
4. Keep the tube into the tire. Then spray foam with the tire. Wait to see the foam to the valve stem area. Gradually foam will fill up the tire within this time. This will help air to fill the tire. Keep the valve stem to its place. Use cap to keep the foam inside the tire.
5. Fill the tire with air. Do the process as long as the foam begins to come out of the hole you made.
6. Keep the foam-filled tire for few days. You must keep it up to the days to remove the foam completely.

If you use the tire for a few weeks, you may get flat spot with the tire. Or if a tire set for a few weeks on the rim, it gets flat spots. You can remove the spot by using more foam with the tire.
