I had the front tires of my Ford 641D filled after a whole bunch of flats from hawthorn thorns. It worked good for a few years, but then the tire carcasses split between the tall ribs and the outer part of the tire came off. Without the ribs, it was almost impossible to turn the tractor, so I bought new tires. A LOT of work to get the "doughnuts" off the rims--I found that if I cut clear through the "doughnuts" and worked them off the rims after cutting the rest of the tire tread off, it was then possible to get the beads off. I mounted the new front tires with tubes and added a quart of Slime to each of them. I have to add air a couple of times a year, but so far no flats.
When I had my tires foamed, they cost somewhat over $100 to have done. It would probably be a lot more today.
But like you, I decided that I wouldn't have my tires foamed again. I had thought that the tires would last for many years after foaming, but they did not. My guess is that the tires were not engineered to not flex much, but rather squirm around on the surface of the smooth "doughnut" inside. An experiment that didn't work for me!
