Tyre for wheelbarrow

[cliff]

Ta John & Julie, no prob fitting a new tyre, I used to do it for a living (Many years ago), the tube is OK, it's the tyre that's knackered.

p.s. Ta for the "Pile" advice, so far my Sphincter copes OK.lol

I would not buy a solid one but horses for courses, as for the new wheels you do get it already inflated and a new inner tube! and unless you have tyre levers, and of course the chances are you might nip the tube so you would need a puncture outfit to take off and fit a new tyre.
IMHO I would just by a new complete item then you always have the spare tube to fall back onto. or inflate it and use it as a pile cushion .lol

DO NOT buy a solid one, they are a problem wheeling over rough ground. I have one on another wheel barrow. The cost of a new wheel is €20 euros at the Fereteria on the left as you leave Albox, opposite the timber yard. I shall try Longos mañana.
If a tyre is less than €10 euros then that's a better deal.

Longos etc! New wheel complete 15 euros, not worth playing around with, either solid or hard types available

A solid tyre on the face of it seems a better choice than an inflatable one. Do you know whether there is a downside to a solid one ?


I also need to replace my tyre when I am next over
