I have an old wheelbarrow with an inflatable tube tire. I have repaired
a hole in it but need to know what the air pressure should be when I
fill it. There is a label on the wheel rim that I believe gives the
pressure, but the numbers are obscured. Any ideas?'

Until it is firm. Not hard when you squeeze the tire from the side walls.

Ultra,

Try 10-12 psi.

Hi,
Ditto on mine.

Mine are rated at 50 PSI, but I usually keep about 70-80 PSI.
It helps with cornering and braking. Plus you can get a
hell of a bounce going when you are going down a set of steps.
Watch out for those spontaneous decompressions, though.
They can put an eye out.

I am glad you asked and didn't just go out there and do the wrong thing. So
many things must be considered:

What will be the ambient temperature?

Will you be hauling heavy or light materials?

How fast will you be going?

What kind of ground will you be covering, rough or smooth?

Does the barometric pressure in your area vary greatly?

The proper care and maintenence of wheelbarrows requiress a high caliber
spendy pressure gauge, storage in a temperature/humidity controlled
environment, proper rotation, regular air changes, and regular inspections
by a qualified expert.

But, if you are like the rest of us, you just put enough in it to make it
easy to push.

Years old or PSI?

Yep. Most are only 15-20 psi.

Mine is 35. I know this because I have to fill the darn thing up every time
I use it - it has a slow leak so I always have to drag out the compressor.

I don't have a clue, nor do I care. I fill it until it is hard enough to
not sag when loaded. This is not like a finely tuned race car at 185 mph
where a couple of pounds means losing control in the turns.

I can tell you don't take your wheelbarrow to the edges of its envelope
