About This Item
Glad I found this alternative to inner tubes. I bought a 13x5.00 - 6 inner tube to replace an original on my Gorilla cart. Getting the tire back on these small rims is nearly impossible without a machine unlike wheelbarrow tires which are pretty easy with just screwdrivers. Tire shops wanted $15 - $20 to put a single tire on the rim. One shop refused to even try saying their machine wouldn't go that small and they'd probably damage the rim.Note that not all Gorilla carts take 13 tires. My cart is rated at 1, 200 pounds (300 per tire) and the bed measures 49 X 24. Smaller carts use smaller tires but if yours has a 5/8 axle and a 2.25 offset hub then you may be able to use these taller tires which will make moving and maneuvering the cart easier with heavy loads. You just need to have about 7 between the center of the axle and the bottom of the cart bed leaving you1 clearance between the tire and bed.I did use body/fender washers (about an 1/8 total) behind the wheel as my rims have a 2.25 offset opposed to these rims with a 2.2 offset. It would have been okay not to use the washers; it would only allow the wheel to move back and forth on the axle a small amount.These tires are about 3/4 taller than the original tires as the original tires are not a true 13.
Easy install and had held up quite nicely so far
Working great so far. These tires are essential for our work cart that gets pulled by our tractor. We have several acres and the "goat heads" punctured the previous inner tubes tires. These have been on one cart and performed great. Durable, no more flat tires, and I will be buying more. These tires will save me money and time because I won't have to keep refilling them with expensive slime!
I kinda hate "Flat Proof" wheels/tires but its pretty hard to find anything else these days. The promise of "Flat Free" also comes along with "Flat Spotting" if a load is put on these types of tires and they sit still for ANY length of timed. (You will often see notes about "Dynamic" loading or not for "Static" use) what they are trying to tell you is don't leave a load on these types of tires for any length of time ("Static" load). The reason is that the plastic outside of the "tire" will start to deform as there is absolutely NO PRESSURE inside the tires. ...and since there is No Pressure inside the tires there is little incentive for the tire to reform itself once the load has been removed.While I pretty much knew this limitation going in, I had absolutely no idea of just how quickly these will flat spot! I am (was) using these on a custom cart I built to haul trash cans down my long driveway. Unfortunately, I stopped to chat with one of my neighbors for only about 20 mins (with the cans still loaded) and now I have flat spots on my tires that just won't go away! I'm going to replace these with standard tubes tires and then try and heat them up a little (in the sun or with a heat gun) in hoping that once the thick outer plastic layer gets a little softer the interior poly foam might be able to push them out to their original shape.Solid "flat free" tires are simply not worth the headaches should you leave them loaded for any time at all!
They work great on going up stairs, the larger tires , roll up easier.
These fit perfectly on my wagon. Easy install and very durable. No more worries about flat tires. Very good price as well.
Great little tires
Great replacement so far so good
These tires were a lifesaver, at my age bending over to air up tires is dangerous, this eliminated it, I plan to order more.
These wheels were perfect for my needs. I wanted to replace the 10" Marathon run - flat wheels on my custom cart because they made it difficult to move the cart up a ladder ramp into my truck. Going up to 13" with these wheels made the cart much easier to move as the wheels wouldn't get hung up on the ramp rungs. I could not find any other 13" wheels with the same hub size as my original wheels. Took all of five minutes to swap them out. They came promptly and were well packed. Highly recommended.
These replaced 2 (flat) tires on a double wheel wheelbarrow. My wife loves that the barrow rolls easily. again, and she does not have to worry about flats. Well made, work great. Highly recommended
I got these for my Gorilla cart. Lets be honest, this is what they should have come with from the start. Every time I wanted to use my cart, I had to also find my air hose and pump up the tires. Since buying these, I have not had a single flat, so yeah, they work. If your cart is just a decoration collecting fallen leaves and spiders, don't bother, but if you actually like using your cart and want wheels and tires that work, it couldn't be simpler than this.
Working perfectly on trailer
Easily replaces tube tires that always seem to go flat. Works great.
Quality tire for rough farm cart terrain
The Flat - free tires mounted on steel wheels work great on my lawn wagon.I purchased four.I would definitely purchase again.
Works as expected. They are very stiff compared to pneumatic/air tires that were on it. We have had another set for a few years now they last much longer due to them not cracking and leaking.
Perfect for what I needed. These wheels replaced the metal wheels on my offset smoker. Great fit, easy to install. Highly recommended.
Have worked great on lawn cart�� very solid and have held up��no more airing up the tires
Very sturdy construction and can handle a heavy load. Works great for moving the chicken tractors.
I put these on my garden wagon I tow behind my ATV. These give it more height for ground clearance! I love that they don't need air, so they won't be flat when you need to use your cart or whatever you put them on. They come with cotter pins and washers. They roll smooth and have given my old garden wagon a new lease on life! They make my cart look new! Seems like a good value compared to other places I looked at to get wheel replacements.
I bought these because big box stores didn't have correct center length. These were excellent fit plus there no flats which saved me half of expense of in store wheels same value.
Perfect fit, took very little time and effort to install! Hard as a rock! Recommend!!
Good purchase using on my garden wheelbarrow. But would have been nice if it came with kotter pins
Excellent fit and performance. No surprises
Installed on a two wheel wheelbarrow it had plastic wheels on it beforehand these are a great improvement and we're cheaper very pleased
They work perfectly
