Default Tail Dolly Tire

Having it foam filled fixes the flat and likely the shop installing the
foam will also remove the tube for you and remount the tire. Problem
solved. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Yes, but let's fix the flat first... Thanks

I did the foam thing several years ago on my tail dolly after having read someones great advise here on RAS. I regret having done so. It makes the tail dolly a lot heavier. More important, when I'm pushing on unpaved surfaces (which is frequently) it makes the tail bounce a lot worse than it did on air.
