Actually it works - I've done it using very dry hay once. the biggest problem was breaking the bead and the getting the tyre back on the rim afterwards. Did 35kms like that, but the wheel felt horrible. Tyre overheated anyway and had to be scrapped, but it got us to the next stop and that's all that mattered. All you are really trying to replicate is a Runflat rim inside a tyre.

If anyone wants 5 run-flats, I just happen to have a set, found inside a set of ex MoD tyres/rims.

Nooooooooooo!!!!

Never ever again will I fit runflats / RodGuard or any other horrible tyre saver!

Pass them off on some other gullible mug! 

Collars for the cattle maybe??? Possibly just a tad heavy.

All joking apart, anybody who is restoring a Snatch Defender might be interested. Maybe one for an advert on Milweb?

That's a thought !

Either braver than me or absolutely 💯 percent stupid

That puts me in mind of a recovery technique called casting.

In my experience blocks crumble, even worse if unevenly loaded in compression.
