Puncture Proof Tricycle Tires

Look Ma, No Hands!
Help! I am working on two AMF Rocket Tricycles and trying to get new tires (puncture proof) on the rims. I’ve been told to boil tire (6min to 20min) and also microwave - no specific time was told to me. Tire sizes are 10 x 1.75, 9 x 1.75, & 12 x 1.75. I have broken one tire so, far (6min boil). Any good advice would be greatly appreciated. Thx :]
 
I boiled a set of pedal tractor tires years ago,It worked but I had to cook 'em for a while and use welders gloves to handle them. Boil them 'till they're "rubbery" and get them on quick,they cool fast. Make sure they're straight. Good luck
 
Maybe boil a good 20 to 30 min? I’ll give it a try in the next few weeks - gotta go see family next weekend.
