Expanding Foam in Flat Wheelbarrow Tire (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Bought a house a few months ago and the previous owner left a wheelbarrow with a flat tire. Was going to get a new tire for it but then I saw a stupid "expanding foam hacks" video on Facebook that auto played and they put foam in a tire to get it "inflated" again. Has anyone done this and had luck with it? Out of curiosity and to save my cheap ass a few dollars.

It might fill the tire and make it round but it probably won't hold much weight. If it does hold weight it would probably be a rough ride to push that thing around anything that isn't smooth ground. A tire patch like @[email protected] suggested or a plug would probably give better results.
