Anyone have experience with No Flat Tires – solid rubber?? I wanted to wash my boat and pulled the pressure washer out of the shed to find 2 flat tires – rotted out. They are the 10″ x 3.5 on 4″ rims. New air filled tires are $13. No flat are $30. How long before they rot off? Worth over twice the cost??
Definetly worth it imo. I put them on my 2 wheel dolly many years ago and they are still like new. Also put a set on my Weber grill a couple months ago.

these are the ones i put on my grill and the other ones on my 2 wheel dolly are bigger and i got them from harbor freight.
They’re not so good with heavy loads. Stud that I am (NOT!), I frequently overload the wheelbarrow to the point where the solid tire deforms and is more difficult to push than a pneumatic tire. That said, I haven’t had to air a the tire either. If whatever you put these things on is heavy even when empty, the tire will develop flat spots when parked.
these are the harbor freight ones i have. ive hauled one of my big gun safes with these wheels 500-600# and they never deformed or get flat spots, ive had them for probably 10 years or so. the wheelbarrow tires are probably thicker and maybe a little softer.

I run no flats all day at work on both the dolly and wheelbarrow. They are the way to go. Deforming from a load ? I haul 100 pounds of concrete on a dolly and don’t see that happen. And a wheelbarrow topped off with concrete and it doesn’t happen. They will be great on your pressure washer.
When buying ones for a dolly or wheelbarrow don’t buy the cheapest available.
I like them and put them on my dolly and buggy. I did notice the buggy was a little harder to push with the never flat tire. But it is a lot harder to push with a flat air tire.
The ones from Menards were what I was looking at. But my local store the website says only 1 in stock. I didn’t consider how soft they would be. Pressure washer would be no issue, light and doesn’t roll far. Wheelbarrow I learned harder rolls easier but softer is better for going over roots and such. Wheelbarrow tire isn’t too old.
I put solid no-flats from Menards on all my wheel barrows. They each have a minimum of 10 nails stuck through them. They haul shingles all day everyday, 50-200 lbs, and the tire generally outlasts the metal pan in the wheel barrow. Pay for themselves by lunchtime on day one.
Fill them with Insta Foam and never worry again…
Menards had some No Flat Tires come in. Bought 2 this morning. Looks like They will be perfect.
Thank you.
