To my knowledge there is no way to do them yourself but I agree with DemolitionMission. Atleast when you bend a rim with a doubled tire you can take the tires and tube and put them on another rim. Rims are cheap compared to good tires.

would it be worth it to foam fill donut tires

IMO no, you can get donuts at a junk yard for $5-10 a piece and if you want to get reall fancy throw a tube in them for another $10. It will cost you atleast $60 ea. to foam fill them and when they're junk they're junk. I like running them with tubes cuz its just 2 less tires to worry about going flat. Like I said its JMO but I'd spend the $100+ you saved by not foam filling them to put good tires on the front.

You'd be surprised how hard it is to cut, slice, pop a non drive tire if you have a simple little tube in it. We had more donuts roll the bead than actually get cut and once we started tubing them we didn't have that problem anymore.

Those were heavy sob. I think a standard tire takes more to fill. I've picked tractor trailer tires with steel rims and these weighed just about as much.
