The tires on the cart I received just a few weeks ago have a schrader (same kind that's on a car) valve to inflate the tires. The tires are stinky (I leave it outside, the smell is getting less) but they work.

I used my air compressor. Too bad they didn't come with tires that never go flat. I might switch mine with those. Harbor Freight if you have them near you has tires that never go flat and you don't have to inflate.

The air wouldn't work to air up tires. I tried it one day after the 30 day warranty ran out, it didn't work and they wouldn't replace it. I was stuck with something that didn't work and still had to pay for it.

Same thing with me but I put a little air in it- put it inside the tires-put them on the rims and then pumped them up to correct pressure and they worked great. Try it- I didn't think they were the right size but they have been on 2 months with no problems.

The tires are a solid rubber. You should be able to squeeze them a little. Rubber in my opinion is better than plastic. It is durable and quiet.

Separate fill ports to inflate it. I did use a air compressor. It is pretty big.

I suspect you could but I used a small power air pump...mostly because I had to inflate 11 of them. Might take a bit of strength and time with bike pump. Check for inexpensive electric air pump.

It is quite difficult to inflate these tires - I have a small air compressor that has a low profile nozzle on it that just barely fits, and even then it takes some luck to get it off and on. We had a tire go flat (punctured) and had to buy a new tire from Bumbleride. I would rather have wanted to fix the tire or patch it, but then figured that spending the 25 bucks on a new tire was better than spending hours of frustration in trying to fix something that probably wasn't meant to be fixed.

They deflate like a car tire. Take a small screwdriver and press the tiny stem that is inside the valve stem.

you'll want to use an aircompressor, you can find on at a gas station or tire center. Good chance one of your handyman neighbors has one.

No you do not. However a pump or leaf blower is highly recommended. It would take for ever to inflate them manually

A valve stem tool would be handy. It is best to remove the valve core, squeeze in the amount of Slime you want, replace the core and re-inflate. That way the Slime goes in faster and the core won't get as gummed up.

I had the same problem too. I used my air compressor and just stuck the end in the hole and stuck a rag around in the hole to clog it. It took me about 30 min. to get the thing inflated,but I finally got it.Hope this helps you out.

Loosen the valve and do nothing else. It will self-inflate. If you want it to be even fuller, you can blow into the opened valve. When it inflated to your liking, close the valve. To deflate, open the valve and roll it up tightly. Then close the valve to keep it deflated. I carry mine in my purse rolled up and deflated. It takes up little room this way.

No. It takes forever just to air up a tire. It don't put out enough air for that

To inflate, you merely open the air valve, and the cushion inflates automatically. Once it is inflated, you close the valve. There is no need to blow air in to the valve. To let the air out, open the valve and then roll up the cushion to squeeze out the air. Then, close the valve.

Not sure I fully understand the question but if the tire has a standard Schrader valve, you should be able to inflate the tire with the ARB Inflator attached to a compressor. You first attach the ARB to the compressor hose via the standard 1/4" compressor adaptor on one end of the ARB and then clip the other end of the ARB that has the short stainless steel hose with Schrader adaptor onto the tire's valve. Squeeze the actuaton handle on the ARB to begin air flow. Hope that helps.

I believe a standard tire or electric pump will work. We had no problem inflating and deflating these tubes. We really enjoyed using them too.
