Ride on mowers are fairly lightweight really, so you shouldn't have any real problems jacking the thing up anywhere, so long as you don't try to lift up on plastic....why not try a compound known as 'Tyreweld' which will seal any present and future punctures? Its injected into the tyre via the valve and seals any holes up to 5mm. Personally I wouldn't be without it - available from garden machinery shops, £10 a bottle which does 2 tyres.
