Thanks, I appreciate your opinion on it.

Flatproof tyres are expensive; the 'punture-proof' aren't - they're easily
pierced but don't have tubes. Foam has to be very good before it doesn't
deteroriate and fall tp pieces.
I had some Clark's Hikers, didn't use them for several years. They were in a
cupboard with no exposure to sunlight. Next time on they just crumbled and
fell to bits. Methinks a barrow's wheel gets more exposure.


My *two ply* ones have all had a dose of puncture sealant. Semi
industrial tyres rarely puncture and will fit wheelbarrow rims.
