I asked this same question earlier this year, and the answer is basically that there is no good solution right now. I have family that owns a tire shop, and asked them too. The options are pretty much foam it [their explanation was it wasn't really a good fit for the zero turn I wanted it for, since they could not really control to "pressure" (RE: "feel") of the tire, since I run 3-5lbs of pressure in my ags] or slime it.
I hate to slime my tires/wheels, but it turned out to be tho only option for me. I was goign to tube the tires then slime them but then realized I was not gaining anything by it, and was just spending money that I didn't need to.

I have not had much luck with Slime type leak sealant but I just may try Gempler's Extreme Grade sealant. Some of my tires that are going flat are 2-ply rated, and others 4-ply rated. I do buy 4-ply rated tires when I replace them. Since I swap front tires/rims between my five Cubs as I need to due to flats, I have lost track of which tires are the newest and when I mounted them, and which ones came with the Cub when I bought it from somebody. Going forward, I will date mark the inner sidewall of the tires with a paint stick so I can know how old the tires are when they start leaking.
BTW - to mount the tires I'm using the Harbor Freight mini-tire changer 61179. I don't have a large enough workbench or vise to get the leverage and stability I need for the tire changer. So I bolted the tire changer to one end of a 4 ft board. I drive my car onto the other end of the board and the cars weight holds the board and tire changer in place, and gives me enough room to work.

I have actually had very good luck with the green Slime. This summer when I was bush hogging at my Grandparents house the front tire on the Deere picked up a thorn (thought it was barb wire at first ). The tires had been tubed previously, so a plug was not an option. I think I put 16 oz in. I had to add about 10 psi a month ago. I don't mind having to add a little air every few months. I recently picked up a gallon pump bottle on sale at TSC for $20. I have fixed a couple front cub tires and 2 atv tires with it.
I try to use as little as possible. I have been mounting tires for 20 years and absolutely hate traditional fixaflat. The green stuff washes right off with water and is non toxic. I have 2 wheel barrows with Slime tubes in them and have never added air. I am a believer!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
