Good to know. I have the same wheels on my welding cart, with MUCH less weight, but didn't consider that the foam could collapse with heavier items over time from lack of rotation. I did modify an old wheelbarrow and replaced a chewed up 8" hard rubber wheel with a similar 12" foam (Harbor Freight) wheel as the OP showed in his pic, and do love it.
Those are 16" diameter and rated at 500 or 550 lbs each! The whole cooker might weigh 500 lbs on a good day, on 4 legs, so it's a pretty big disappointment.
Exactly! These ones compact pretty quickly, like 15 to 30 minutes I think, bounce back to original form takes a couple of hours. Lesson learned, they're back at the store now, thankfully they refunded me no problem. She's now sporting 16" pneumatic tires on red rims.
Missed this somehow! That's a wheel intense situation over there! A lot of wisdom here, thanks for the insight.towtruck wrote: ↑August 26th, 2021, 1:27 pmI maintain over 100 tires/wheels around my place on vehicles, trailers, implements, and carts. I have found for smaller carts that sit empty the no-flat tires work well. Anything with weight on them needs to be a solid steel wheel or one with very hard rubber over the steel wheel.
Any smaller items with aired up tires that sit a lot are a pain and are always going flat so they get blocked off the ground to help them out a bit. I'll air them up before setting them down and using them.
Tires ands batteries....life's two most maintained items around my place.
