put bigger tires on it
more air takes longer to leak out when you get holes.

I put tubes in my hand cart tires when it was new because they came with
default leaks, then squoze a full bottle of Briggs & Stratton stop leak in
each one. They still leak, I sure do wish they held more air.

I have a handcart with tubeless tires. One of the tires has developed a
leak in the sidewall. It goes completely flat in about a day. (I wish
they had used a solid rubber tire.)

What is the best way to repair this tire? Would one of those liquid
tire sealants work? Thank you in advance for all replies.

in a circle until he gets too dizzy to stand up. What is cruel about
it is that I don't do it nearly as much as he wants me to.

I had the same problem with garden tractor trailer tires.

If you are too cheap to buy a new tire (I was), then get a bottle of
"Slime" at Harbor Freight. There are other brands of tire sealant
around in hardware and auto supply stores.

First dunk the tire in a water bath to find out exactly where in the
sidewall the leak(s) are.

Then, follow the instructions: remove valve stem, squirt several
ounces of the Slime into the tire, replace the valve stem and inflate
to the proper pressure.

Then put the leaky side down and hit the tire HARD flat on the ground
to force the Slime into the leaks. Retest for leaks in the water bath,
if it still leaks, repeat hitting on the ground and retesting.

I was able to get several more years of service out of my tires before
I finally got tired of re-inflating them every month or so and bought
new tires.

To prevent the problem from recurring with the new tires, protect them
from the sun's UV rays as these rays rot the tires.
