    Even if you find a strong wheel with an air tire you can still have them foam filled. We did this with a lot of our construction equipment tires that would get sent to salvage yards.

    It's not the years in your life that matter, but the life in your years.

    We got all ours done through either Action Tire or SPW.

    I can't imagine those wheels (based on the tire tread patterns) were designed to withstand much lateral force.

    Yea, those are wheelbarrow wheels, and usually tip in the direction of turning.

    I do not think it is a problem with either the wheel or the airless tire. The bearings in the hub seem to be the weak link. I will look into finding some high quality bearings for it. It will be after Turkey day when I can get actual measurements from the hub.

    I have the old one in my van. What measurements do you need?

    Inner diameter, Outer diameter, and width will be enough for most bearing houses.
