I have one of those four-wheel hand pulled carts that I use occasionally for pulling heavier items around. The existing 20+ year old tires are pneumatic tires that no longer hold air so I need to replace them. (Or as they say in NE Ohio - They need replaced). Size is 4.10/3.50-4 (10 inches high). I see I can get 4 replacement wheels with tires for between $50 and $60. There are two options. Pneumatic tires with tubes. Or flat free foam filled tires. Price is about the same. The flat free ones sound like a good deal, not having to deal with adding air when I occasionally use the cart. However, sounds like if you leave any significant weight on the cart, they might get a flat spot. I have limited space and a dirt floor so I like to leave a few items on the cart like maybe a couple of 5 gallon gas cans. Wouldn’t be leaving anything on the cart weighing over 100 pounds, probably rarely more than 50 pounds, but it might be on there for several months since I don’t live there.
I primarily use it for hauling out heavy concrete statues that I store inside over the winter and that kind of thing. Just curious if anybody has any opinion, good or bad, of the foam filled flat- free tires for carts or wheelbarrow or that kind of thing compared to pneumatic tires. When I use the cart, it is over at rougher grass lawn, never on concrete, so even with the limited use I’m thinking, maybe pneumatic tires would provide more stability and be a better choice.
Thanks
