I guess if you can figure out how to spray foam into the tubes through the valve without making a giant mess, that would work.
If all that's needed is to keep the tire looking inflated, I would cut some strips of foam or similar and stuff them in there in place of the tube. You could cut off and tape in the valves to make it look real. If you wanted to be C&V you could use excelsior stuffed into socks instead...
I was thinking rolled bubble wrap to keep it from the landfill...
