You are right, but not for a few bucks. A wheelbarrow tire
treated with polyurethane foam is about $45. It is actually sold
by the pound. A Kubota tractor driver tire (big) runs around
$500. Worth every penny compared to down time out in the
hinterlands.

Unless it's REALLY old it's likely tubeless. Back in 93 I

Or really new. I got tired of the tubless tire on my
wheelbarrow going flat, so I put a $2.50 tube in it. Hasn't
gone flat in two years.



I bought a solid rubber spongy one at a yard sale for fifty
cents. It hasn't gone flat YET.

If anyone DOES buy a solid rubber tire, please be advised that
there are soft ones and hard ones. Wheelbarrow tires with
tubes or tubeless are a PITA. Solid is the way to go.

And, there are tire shops who for a few bucks will "fill" a
pneumatic tubed or tubeless tire with a foam material which
won't go flat even if you drive it over a spike sticking up out
of the blacktop.
