Can't really tell what tires are made of. Are they molded plastic, solid rubber,--what exactly?

It is an EVA Polymer. The tire has a slightly squishy feel and when your little one rides over thorns, you'll pick them up in the tire but they pull right out. They are not the molded plastic of the cheap tricycles. I am a pretty big fan of this tire design as they are completely maintainance free. My son has worn the tread off of them and is still cruising.

It appears to be some kind of very solid foam. Both our boys have ridden ours a lot and the tires have held up with no problems. At ages 3 & 4, they can both ride a pedal bike with no training wheels!

I believe they're molded plastic. So far they've held up perfectly, even after the front wheel was driven over by a car. No damage!

Hi, the wheels are plastic, but the tires are rubber. Not filled with air, but still pliable rubber. It is great for the street, but would be a rough ride on trail. It is very well made and our cat loves it!

Plastic- if they were rubber it would be AWESOME! We thought about upgrading the tires for next summer.

They are made of a thick rubber compound, not plastic. Read my review for installation and modification tips.

Tires are rubber and good quality. Tubes are very soft rubber like material that will easily tear in your hand. One of mine was flat on arrival and could not be repaired. Plan on replacing both tubes at $10 each. Still a good buy at about $21 for entire cart.

Tires are plastic and hollow. I am not sure how long they will hold up. Know you can get replacements from Radio Flyer.

Not the ones I got. They have a wire bead. They are good tires, made of a softer rubber, so they grip and are a smooth ride but they seem to wear pretty fast.

The tires are rubber. We gave the wagon as a gift and have no idea how long the tires will last. Overall, the wagon is well constructed.

The wheels are plastic, as are the white wheel wells. The tires feel like a different type of plastic; they almost have a rubber feel, but not quite. You don't have to fill them with air.

the tires are not plastic, they are rubber. but the difference between the two is that these don't have air in them

Tires are plastic. I also have the swat edition police car that has a rubber strip in the center. My son favors the dune buggy more than the police car. He absolutely loves the buggy and drives it pretty much daily. My son is almost three.

They feel like hard rubber which looks like plastic but much more durable. I.E. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EboniteDefinitely not rubber like any sort of conventional tire.

They are plastic, but a softer kind of plastic. At first I was disappointed, but my daughter has been riding it daily on concrete & asphalt for months, & it still works great.

I believe that they were rubber, but the bolt mechanism rusted through within 6 months so I no longer have it. Not a good product, as far as I'm concerned.

Tires are plastic. I love the Joovy, but only use it for short walks around the neighborhood. It's not the sturdiest bike out there.
