Does anyone know if the 20" wheels are flat free or pneumatic? And do you like them on rough terrain? Thanks!

Mine are tubed tires, no problems in 1 year of hard use. Should they ever need to be replaced, I plan to buy a set of hard rubber tires. With 20" wheels, it quite well over rough terrain. This is the best cart I have ever used. Pull, rather than push and it goes over anything. Also makes sharp turns easily.

They are inflatable tires and handle the terrain very well. They are about standard bicycle size tires. Another nice feature is the removable tub.

Not sure if the 20 inch wheels are flat free or not. I do believe they are pneumatic. Check the website. They have a phone number and are very willing to speak with you and give you any and all answers that you need. The smaller tires contain air, but don't seem to have lost any over the winter. I may get a chance to check this weekend if the weather permits, and add air if needed. Pretty good fit for my rough back yard.

The cart sold on amazon comes with pneumatic wheels and they do very well on rough terrain.

Pneumatic means "Air filled" as opposed to solid rubber or solid foam. The wheels (rims) are plastic (so they don't rust) the actual tires are rubber and air filled.

No; they are solid rubber/plastic. Many have changed to pneumatic wheels from harbor freight

In my experience the tires are very durable, but they're also essentially slicks with no real gripping power. If the gravel is loose, traction on turns and hills could be a problem. Packed gravel or dirt should be fine... mud would be a problem, though.

The wheels are pretty good. I haven't had any issues with them. To me, they seem quite sturdy.

The company makes an all terrain front tire wich is alot fatter. for grass areas. before when they didn't have the flat free tires the cart was hard to turn because of the inflatable tire. now its really easy to turn because its flat free tire.it does run alittle harder on the ground but its bigger front tire is alot better than the r10 front tire wich wears down over time.

They are good wheels, suitable for the purpose. I too walk several miles/wk, and find them good. They are not skateboard quality,( which are my preference), but for a buggy with 100 lbs or less, on cement sidewalks they seem tbe durable. If you are on gravel or uneven dirt roads, it may not be enough.But the buggy is great, in general and much better and more useful than the cheaper wire baskets I have used. Ive had mine, used regularly for several months, and I find little to complain about. ( b/c the wheels swivel easily, and the sidewalks in my neighborhood, tilt for runoff, they tend to follow the tilt. Only complaint I have. They are good wheels, suitable for the purpose.

I bought mine in end of March this year and they are air filled tires,othervise I wouldn't buy them. This,hand break and low gravity center were the 3 main things I wanted to have for my little boy. The bicycle is great. He's riding it less than 3 months and already started to do a bit of cross on some rocks, stairs and similar. He's so happy with it,and me too. Completly fylfiled my expectations. :-D

I do mostly off road. The one time I took a road ride, I ended up with 2 flats from thorns. These tires are excellent for dirt.

They're kinda like bike tires. Our stroller sat in the garage all winter and definitely needed air when we dug it out to use it the other day. But the stroller is great for rugged terrain!

I mounted them on a 20 x 1.75 rim, they were loose going on and took a little time to get them to seat with out the bead comming off the rim. The tire did blow off the rim with in a month, but I remounted them with slime tubes on the same rims a couple of years ago and kept the pressure up and the budding 10 year old stunt rider has not been able to flatten or dismount the tire.

It's a well made unit but seems more designed for smooth, flat or even sloped surfaces. You may want to look for something with larger diameter wheels and a larger footprint to provide more stability. You might also consider no wheels at all, just a fixed walker when outside. It'll depend a great deal on how rough the terrain is where you plan to travel.

The wheels are not inflatable. They come in tough rubber and is way more durable than if they were inflated. As far as stability it's fine. I used to have the old inflatable one and they got stuck on every sharp turn and didn't hold as much weight. THIS is the best HAND truck on the market. -Kelly Dlux -www.dluxent.com

I have never rode on the wheel set you speak of, but the Aeromax is one tough and strong rim. I was 250 when I started using them and they stayed true and I just put 700x23 tires on them and they hold fast and go fast

Damn I keep mine at 65-70 and Im 210 pounds on a 58cm frame with 700 x 25 stock wheels and tubeEDIT: Today after riding on 60psi for a few days, I increased the PSI to around 80psi. So far, no blowouts. The tires began to feel slow at 60psi once broken in. Now at 80psi, they feel OK.EDIT: 03/12/2014 Now I ride 90 PSI with no problems...

It is solid- hard- like a wheel on a kids wagon- I installed them on a hand truck and a generator since I was tired of inflating tires the orginal tires and tubes. These you never have to worry about them going flat= they are solid - note the weight.
