5.0 out of 5 stars Not cheap, but VERY much worth the investment, November 30, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Ames True Temper 8-Inch Flat Free Solid Wheelbarrow Tire FFTCC (Lawn & Patio)

It seems that I could rarely get more than about ten uses of a new wheelbarrow tire before a heavy load over hard, uneven surfaces would cause a flat in a supposedly "flat-proof" tire. And then I'd have to go back to the hardware store, invest another $10 or so and put a new tire on, inflate it, try to balance it and basically waste another ten bucks and another hour of my time as it would pop and go flat again shortly.

Getting tired of this, I decided to ante up and give this one a try -- and I'm thrilled! It feels like an air-filled tire; the solid material is a bit like soft, air-filled rubber which acts as a shock absorber over bumps and uneven surfaces. But when you bounce this one around or roll it over hard and sharp surfaces with hundred-pound loads, it just keeps rolling and coming back for more!

I only wish I bought this when I first assembled my wheelbarrow. When adding up the cost of frequently popping and flattening air-filled tires, in the long run this is a very good investment for anyone who frequently uses a wheelbarrow with heavy loads. It WILL pay for itself over time, and plus you don't have to hassle with replacing a tire as a regular ritual.

Do yourself a favor -- plunk down the sixty bucks and invest the money in a solid, flat-proof tire such as this one. You will be pleased when it's still going strong months, even years later. The reduction in flat-induced aggravation alone is worth this price several times over. You certainly get what you pay for.

5.0 out of 5 stars No more flats, what a savior, June 2, 2003

This product will save me 2 fold when it comes to not having to take time out of my busy schedule to replace the tire. This tire lasts longer then the wheelbarrow and I will keep it when I junk the rest of the wheelbarrow. Couldn't be happier with this product.

I was unable to try out this wheelbarrow tire because it didn't fit my Ames wheelbarrow, although the product description said it was universal. Later it occured to me that the description didn't include any diameter measurement (only the hub measurement), so I checked the tire and found that it is 15" across. My old tire measured 13", so there's the problem. If the product description had included the measurement, I would have known not to order it.
