Pneumatic tires

Post by critters »

I just wanted to remind people with pneumatic tires for their WW carts (large carts only, as far as I know) to keep checking the tire pressure. I have a set used for demos, until I place it anyway, that I just noticed the other day had NO air in the tires. If a flat tire is used, the tube can move inside the tire and can become pinched, making a hole. It might be easier to notice a flattish tire if a dog is using it; I don't know--it would probably depend on the weight involved. What I DO know is that I have something else (heavy) that develops silent flats, so I have to test the tires twice a year because last year one pinched and had to be replaced. It's MUCH easier and cheaper to keep them full than to replace them, as a rule!
