About This Item
This old wheelbarrow has been my "go to" now because of this tire. It fit perfectly, installation was simple and it feels tough and durable. No flatness or any issues so far. It even comes with extra bearings. Highly recommend
Replacing a tube tire in a heavily used wheelbarrow. Wheel comes with several spacers to help keep the tire centered. How long will it last? Wont know that for a long time.
This replacement tire brought my old wheelbarrow back to life. It was super easy to install, and it rolls smoothly even with heavy loads. The tread is thick and durable, and it handles gravel and dirt with no problem. It's held air perfectly since day one. Excellent quality. I highly recommend for anyone needing a reliable wheelbarrow tire.
Having to never fix another flat,,, priceless!
Fit fine. Don't forget to use spacers when you assemble.
Fit perfectly!!!! These are working great on my wheel burrow!
It seems like a good replacement as it is airless and still has give like a tire with innertube.
Fits my old wheel barrow when the old wheel was flat and dry rotten. A 16 inch wheel is better. I used the longer spacers. I'm gonna store it upside down to keep pressure off the wheel so it won't flat spot. We will see how long this lasts. So far so good.
Easy install
Good "run flat" replacement tire. No more leaks. Handles light and heavy loads.
Wheel and tire were as described. Easy install. Great price. I was about to replace my wheelbarrow because the tire was junk. I went to a local hardware store and they wanted $80 for a new wheel and tire. I couldn't justify that. I use my wheelbarrow for simple yard work and this wheel and tire replacement was exactly what I needed.
Perfect
This is one of the better airless tires I've used—just enough tread for a bit more traction, and less flex than other wheelbarrow tires I've used—makes a difference for the better with heavy loads.
Although the actual tires are a plastic type matl., they seem substantial. Bushing kit was great although they could have supplied 2 new retainer caps, but I made my old ones work again.Biggest problem was both grease fittings are a bastard size and no grease gun of mine would seal and allow grease to go in. One even has a Lock-n-Lube end that locks on. Had to replace new fittings in each hub, and they are metric thread.Would have gave a 5 star initial review except for the junk fittings..
Never going back to inflatables
These are not solid runner as they state. AND, they are not the same. They will take good punishment until you run them into a sharp paver or something else. Worth the money
Nice tire
Very nice tire�� Has almost no flex but just enough give to not feel like you're carting around on a wood tire. This one is slightly larger than my existing tire, but still fits fine. I'm glad it's larger since I'm tall.Definitely recommend!
Great price, product, quality, highly recommend
Works well so far. I don't know how it will hold up long term but I have been replacing tires every 5 - 7 years.
Very good quality
This solid wheelbarrow tire from GICOOL has given new life to our wheelbarrow. I was a little skeptical about trying a solid vs inflatable tire but I've been pleasantly surprised by its performance and durability. The tire is a little under 16 inches but will work with most brands of wheelbarrow out there. The wheel comes with 5/8" bearings installed but also an extra set of 3/4" bearings in case you have a 3/4" axle. All our wheel barrows are 5/8" so I'll have to find another use for those extra bearings. The swap only took minutes so installation is very easy and the hub features a grease nipple for lube maintenance. The tire has a deeper tread on it than most of our other pneumatic tires ever had which I think makes up for the harder feel of the tire and to help provide more traction. The biggest advantage overall is the lack of flats and longer lifespan. It appears to handle heavy loads just fine but you may notice a slightly bumpier ride compared with air filled depending on the terrain. I've had many pneumatic tires fail or rot out over the years but I'm hopeful that this solid one will go the distance. At $34.99, the price difference isn't all that much from an air filled tire but I expect it will last longer. We'll see, but for now, this gets a solid five stars.
Great price and quality product. No more flat tire!!!
Great and a quick repair. All I needed to replace my tire was included.
This flat - free solid wheel is great for my old wheelbarrow. It was the exact matching diameter and the supplied spacers where just right. I added some large washers to protect the spacers from rubbing too much with the support brace. It's a pretty simple system to center the wheel and they will help, I think. The solid wheel feels fine on hard surfaces and on grass and dirt. Doesn't have that bouncy feeling an air filled tire has. It was always a pain to re - inflate the old tire, usually after winter cold, it was hard to get it to re - seat on the rim. This will probably be the last wheel for this old barrow but you never know. There are extra bearing supplied, which is nice, an a grease gun fitting is supplied on the hub for heavy duty use.
Great price, easy to install.
I didn't know how badly I needed a new wheelbarrow tire until I put this on. It was easy to install on my wheelbarrow with a little tweaking because of the age of mine. It is smooth like butter rolling across the yard. For the money this is a quality non - tube wheel, and the biggest plus of all is never going out to the shop and finding a flat tire! It fit with the included bearings and spacers. No need to purchase anything else.
GICOOL has been one of my favorite go - to's for flat - free airless tires. I originally ordered one of these tires for a wheelbarrow. Somebody asked, why don't we do the wheelbarrow with TWO tires?I ordered this tire as a match to the previous tire. After converting other wheelbarrows to two wheels this seemed to be the right way to do it. Honestly, as I get older, it is harder for me to use a one - wheel wheelbarrow, especially with a heavy load. Having the extra wheel balances the load so I can concentrate on just picking up the handles.Since the axle on the wheelbarrow was too short, I had to order another axle. We decided on a ?" axle, since the wheels came with bearings to fit. The only provision is that the axle holders are 5/8". Previously, we split the axle holders apart, put the axle in them, then on a large vise, I used a heavy hammer and a rock chisel to form the holders around the axle. Both wheels came with enough spacers to keep the tires clear on each side.
