Pneumatic caster wheels from HF, leak proof?

[mroneeyedboh]

Im looking to swap over the hard caster wheels in the HF cart to a pneumatic wheel. I'd be rolling it from the shed, down a small ramp and across 6' of yard to the driveway. I'm reluctant to get a pneumatic wheel from HF as some of the reviewers say that they don't hold air. Is there a fix for this? Slime maybe, or even remove the tube and use that spray foam in place of the tube? Thanks all

I believe many of the issues are because they use a tubless tire. Adding a tube often fixes the leakage issue. Slime might help too.

Adding a tube or buying foam filled wheel-tires are your only real solutions !

Nice. I was under the impression that they were tubed. I'll just add a tube then, easy enough

Why not buy a pneumatic that won't leak from the start?

That's not easy to do even if you don't shop at HF. Foam filled, solid rubber or tubes are the way to go (in that order) IMHO.

I have been using those cheap Chinese Pneumatic Tired wheels for years, occasionally I need to air them up. But for about $5 each, I will continue to buy them.

What's the foam filled ones? Just fill with the aerosol foam stuff?
