question about tire inflating foam

The place where I bought my low profile tires (Fuzion's) from said that if I get a flat, it's not a good idea to inflate it with that inflatable foam from Canadian Tire. I've used this before on my stock tires though. I don't see why I couldn't use it for the low pro's. Anybody know?

I was told that the spray stuff will set off the balance, and even going to re-balance them would be meaningless.
I may be wrong...but that is what i was told by mechanic.

I heard that also regarding tires never be able to balance.

Also some of that stuff is flamable.

Very true. They are IMPOSSIBLE to balance after it's in there.

Just make your spare tire has enough air in it and use that instead.

i'd assume that you would have to have the tire unmounted to clean that crap out and then remount it after to be able to balance it properly

however you can't get all the stuff out .. it's super sticky and screws with the balancing of the tire... never use that crap.
