Puncture resistant tires and tubes
Too often my 16x6.50-8 front turf tires are not holding air beyond a week or two. I've replaced the tires when the sidewalls were dry rotted and/or cracked, but I've got two tires which are nearly new and don't hold air. Liquid tire sealants seems to work only for a few weeks. The tire rims are in good shape where the tire beads sit, no rust and only very minor pitting which I sand out when mounting a new tire. With five Cub Cadets to maintain I replace two or three front tires every year. I do have plenty of briars on the edge of my lawn which are tough to avoid while mowing, so I think thorns are causing the punctures.
I looked for, but didn't find, any 16x6.50-8 thorn resistant inner tubes, if there is such a thing. I've seen a few YouTube videos on filling the tires with Great Stuff expandable foam, but that foam becomes brittle and doesn't flex, so I have not tried it. Is there an expandable foam that stays relatively soft after curing and won't crumble. Or any suggestions?

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.
