Do It Yourself Explained

Do It Yourself Explained


 Very practical for fleets and lots of wheels

Do it yourself programs are economical and can represent incredible savings. The equipment is fairly inexpensive and doesn't take a lot of effort to learn how to operate. If you can put air in a tire and then drill a hole in it, then you have what it takes to become a do-it-yourself foam filler. We have several programs available. Unfortunately what doesn't exist, it is a do-it-yourself at home foam fill kit for the end user who has a flat. We explain how foam fill and tire fill differ on another page, but neither are suitable for the end user because both require equipment to mix and dispense urethane.

For do-it-yourself foam filling to be profitable or to reduce your costs, you'll need to be doing about 100 golf cart size tires a month. With that kind of urethane volume turnover (about 4500lbs) monthly, your equipment will soon pay for itself and the costs associated with your downtime and flats will decrease substantially. If your volumes are under 100 golf cart size tires a month then you'll best be served by contacting us for your volume discount for the Easy Foam or the Heavy Foam.

Since there is foam and fill, both require different equipment. Your tire needs, depending on how they are used will determine which system you need. Tire fill as opposed to foam fill, is easier to use. The dispensing and mixing systems cost about the same and both will end up saving you about the same amount of money. The foam is used when a lighter weight product or application is desired and its use is not considered extreme. However if lightweight tires is not important, then the tire fill is very predictable and very easy to use.

We at Air Free Tires can help you make the right decision on which equipment and systems to purchase. Please feel free to contact us by using this form here.
