how durable are the wheels and tires?

I haven't used it out in the woods yet hunting. I got it just after hunting season this last year. They look like they would be alright. The one thing I did have to do is bore out the wheel axle hole on one wheel to get it to go on the axle as there was welding spatter that blocked the hole. For a tall person the handle is a bit low for my liking. But it looks to be the same as several other game carts.

I used it last season and had no problems. the tires do have a very strong order right out of the box so I would suggest getting it well before you need it and let it out gas before you take into the woods.

I have only used mine for one season but I have had no problems with durability so far. They seem to be heavy duty enough to last a long time. The wheels are stamped steel and the tires are solid rubber. The only complaint I have is the odor from the rubber that several of the reviewers talked about. It is strong and last a long time. I think it is outgassing from the rubber compound that is used and probably is due to the process being used to make them not being the same as we are used to with normal tires. Not sure if it would bother a deer but I don't leave the cart near my stand location. I have only used mine for one season but I have had no problems with durability so far.

I would have to say that they hold up very well. I haven't actually used mine yet to haul out a deer, but I took it out to Colorado last fall on an elk hunting trip. I loaded it down with well over a 100 pounds of gear, strapped it to the back of my ATV and pulled it 2 to 3 miles back into camp over very rocky, rough terrain. It even made it back on the return trip to my vehicle without failure. I would recommend this deer cart to anyone.

For the money this cart is very well made. I had a cart that was twice the Monet and the wheels broke off after the third deer. Great product

I pulled 3 large mule deer in Wyoming over rock, threw creek and sage brush also 3 whitail in Arkansas swamp and hills. Had no issue with durability. I put a bolt inplace of the removable holding pin threw the axle. One of the removable pins fall out. I also used as a cart for my 18' cannoe. I am 100% satisfied.

Wheels are a hard rubber. I would have prefered air filled but they work. I had no issues with the cart I bought other than a small flat spot on one of the tires most likely from when it was poured. Spokes on the tires are pretty firm also. It was worth the money. Hope this helps.

I've only had it for less than a year, but so far it is very durable. It is so well made, the wheels should last as long as the carrier.

Very sturdy. My three year old crashes them into stuff and they are still in great shape.

I have found it heavy and durable with one exception - the wheels can be a little fragile. I have a 2 inch drop from where my case rests to the floor and on one occasion the case got accidentally pushed over the lip and caused the wheels which are plastic to bend and crack

Knobbies create rolling resistance and not ideal unless you are truly off-roading. I am on my second set of Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires for my Xtracycle which is used primarily for running to the grocery store, picking up the kids at school, local errands, weekend jaunts, camping trips, etc. They roll exceptionally well and have outstanding grip on pavement. I rode the first set for nearly 3 years and 4000+ miles; the side walls are strong and can withstand the daily abuse of 300 pounds between me, the kids and groceries. They are very strong, durable and reliable tires. I don't carry a pump, patches, tools or tubes because I know I won't get a flat. At the end of life for the tires, that's when the blue puncture stuff is showing, I inspected the tires and realized they withstood massive amounts of debris, there were little cuts around the entire surface, I suspect that was all the glass, nails, etc. that I ride through daily but still no flats. Amazing how well they hold up, best tires I ever owned. They are okay on packed gravel too. I take the kids backcountry camping on the back of the Xtracycle with all the gear and the tires do well on the trail. I'll be riding these for many years, very happy with them.

No the wheels are not rubber, they are made of plastic. My wheel hit a curb and got a dent in it, but the cart in its entirety is pretty durable and even with the dent still functions very well.

Its easy. Nuts and bolts stuff. I think it even came with a wrench. Took maybe ten minutes first time, and that was three yrs. ago. Still holding up great BTW. Just have had to replace two tire tubes. Makes a twice monthly grocery run with my electric bike. Very slight fraying in the fabric but I'd guess it has another 5-7 yrs left.

Used 2 of them for 4 weeks and no breakage. For sure they are not strong but I think it likely they can be replaced with wheels off a standard shelf from a hardware store. Still a great buy!

Seems a little fast to me. Mine lasted a good 4 years and that was with a fair amount of abuse going sideways on a slope. The replacements are cheap though and seem to be as good as original. Maybe not the best wheels especially in terms of traction,but easy and cheap to replace.

I roll my bag through bumpy parking lots every day I use it and now I roll it down curbs and small stairs out of laziness to carry it down. It has held up quite well. The wheels take the impact down very well. I don't know how it would hold up for long distances but through a college campus it just shows normal wear and tear. The wheels haven't bent or gotten stuck.

Pretty durable just dont go smashing into things and parts are avaliable everywhere amazin ebay etc some people on youtube have hit trees etc pretty hard at full speed no damage and others have bad luck and break but the worst that can happen is just things like rod wnds breaking on the suspension etc

I would think so. The rubber tires have great grip much better than the plastic wheels found on most hot wheel type tricycles. Hope this helps my grandson rides his through big piles of leaves and has no problem

My wheels have held up fine so far and I am a little rough on it. I would purchase the same bag again.

This was my main concern. As with any tire they can go flat. I've walked over 4 blocks a day to the beach for about two weeks with the cart and must say that the tires hold up great. The asphalt that I'm pushing on is old and very rough. I've had no problem with the cart or the tires...wish I would have bought it sooner. I think as long as you not constantly rolling over sharp objects you'll be fine. The tires also cine with a small repair kit.

Mine are tubed tires, no problems in 1 year of hard use. Should they ever need to be replaced, I plan to buy a set of hard rubber tires. With 20" wheels, it quite well over rough terrain. This is the best cart I have ever used. Pull, rather than push and it goes over anything. Also makes sharp turns easily.

We only have tried solid tires and they seem fine. So far use has been light and on sidewalks only. Our 2-year old did not take to peddling quickly, so not much to go on yet, but I suspect, based on the design of pedals and cranks, that this is not designed to go so fast as to warrant air tires.

These are very durable. We have had 2 for about 3 years. My older 13 year old is 5'10" and 171 pounds. He is a testament to durability! The only things we have replaced are wear items like grips and wheels. Both readily available on Amazon! Great Scooter!
