    My guess is the Anti-Freeze keeps it from freezing. Also, I believe Tire Slime does not freeze, although it does thicken up a bit.

    There are places that will fill your tire with foam and make it puncture proof. I priced it a couple of years back for another project and it was quite pricey, although these are small tires so it may be more affordable. I think it also makes the tires heavy and hard, not something desirable when you're looking for the tires to help you float and absorb shocks.

    we have a machine at work for packing our equipment when we ship it and it uses a urethane 2 part foam. we have done some fun stuff with it and if you spray it into a tire it will expand and fill the whole tire up but I bet it would ride like crap. you can do the same thing with the foam they sell for insulating your house that comes in a red and yellow spray can.

    HINT:

    I use a BIG syringe to put the stuff in the tire, AFTER removing the schrader valve from the valve stem.
    Only use HALF of the Antifreeze in the mix.
    After you have the mixture in the tire, push the other half of the antifreeze through the open valve stem, it washes all the mixture down/off the threads and the schrader seats better.
    The trouble with retirement is.... I never get a day off !!!!
