I was checking out my cousins construction company I was told they had
got some tractor style tires. they had them foam filled for no-flat. You could
not get them anymore. So I put the tire size on search 5.7/12 and found
Taylor Industral tires {662-773-8056} these tires are made for a mini skid-loader made by bobcat they are 8 ply. talltex

HEAVY! That is the one sole reason they are not such a good choice for a mini... I worked with foamed tires on military gear and I can tell you they are roughly 3 to 4 times heavier than a stock tire non foamed. Oh yeah I suppose there is another reason for not using foamed tires... ZERO "give" so the bumps you feel now will be bone jarring, back cracking smashes. ;)
