[QUOTE="mightymouse, post: 2804253, member: 15253"] A couple of different things: Mr. Tuffy tire liners, or something equal to it, are thick pieces of poly-something-or-the-other that go between the tire and the tube. They are placed inside the tire and are made of a material that is quite puncture resistant. Combine these with puncture resistant tubes (which are double thick on the bottom) and some sort of liquid sealant like [I]Slime[/I] or [I]Stan's[/I] and you have about as a puncture-proof set-up as can be found. If you don't want Mr. Tuffy's, take a pair of tires the same size as the ones you are using on the cart and cut the wire bead off of them (use a sharp knife and cut all the way around the sidewall of the tire, just above the bead). This leaves you with another sort of a tire liner--simply insert the cut-away tire inside the original tire so that it acts as a barrier between the tire tread and the tube. As to those gimmicky solid tubes, be advised that it takes two men and a boy to install them, IF you can keep from bending the rim while doing so. [/QUOTE]
