Yet another approach to flat tire prevention

Yet another approach to flat tire prevention
There were some recent threads on tire inserts to help in the case of a blow out, especially on the front tires. I was looking at the Goodyear Wingfoot service center site for something else when I ran across this service - foam filled tires, to be "virtually flat proof". I wonder if that equates to blow out prevention? And would it help hold the front wheel off the pavement somewhat for a few seconds to get stopped if a blowout did occur? I wouldn't think much since it seems like it would have to be a fairly pliable foam, but then again I haven't called them to discuss it. I would think temperature variation and pressure loss would be minimal though. Seems more intriguing than nitrogen to me! Angel

Does anyone know anything good or bad about this?

Thanks,
