Try to get one with the highest load rating and a wide wheel base.

Solid tires work better on hard surfaces.

Pneumatic tires work well on softer surfaces (lawn), but the flex in the ballon tires can cause issues when trying to turn. The higher the load, both vertical and horizontal, will flatten or distort the tire and make it harder to roll or turn.

I have both, the narrow wheel base on my solid tired one can make it roll over at times when trying to turn. My pneumatic tired one has a wider wheelbase (which mitigates that issue), but the softer tires can be a PITA when trying to move a heavy dual axel trailer.

I have the Harbor Freight one and use it on my small car trailer. I move the trailer with the car on it quite easily. It has the pneumatic tires which will roll better over small bumps and pebbles on the driveway. Been using it for at least 5 years now.

Subscribed. I'm thinking about an enclosed trailer for ATV storage. Unless I go with a ramp in a V-nosed I'll likely need to a trailer move to get it where I need it.
