Let us know how it works in a couple of weeks when the foam has really 
cured.  It's resilient for a while till it really hardens - and if it stayed 
that way long-term you might be happy as long as the loads were really 
light.  Once it hardens, though, it will smash down and stay down with every 
load and impact - and you'll have flat tires - hence the warnings not to use 
it.
