I don't know if replacement tire/tubes are available (I suspect they are), but I didn't have any trouble keeping my tires inflated during a a 3+ week long boat trip with extensive use of these transom dollies. It is easy to raise/lower the wheels while in the water by leaning over the transom, pivoting the wheels into position, and then engaging the spring clip/lock. The only problem I experienced is the spring clip that locks the arm into position becomes harder to operate if you get silt/dirt in the mechanism. The wheels/arms can be very easily remove for transport without the need of tools. This is a great product.

Hi, you seem very smart for asking me those questions. actually those question are almost what we thought about when we designing this product. You can also visit Seamax Boat website for more support. And you can purchase it for what your need.

If you are trying to find an original replacement wheel you will have to email the manufacturer. However, the size seems common. I would think you could find better wheels at Harbor Freight or Tractor supply, but in the year and a half that I've owned this thing I haven't needed to replace the wheels. I've hauled eight yards of gravel about 150 feet from my driveway to my kids playground area and the wheels have been just fine. Each load was somewhere between 300 and 400 pounds. The wheels aren't a problem. That said, you might be happier with a better wagon. This one doesn't have enough lift to make the dumping feature worthwhile. It's too low, so you end up with half your load still sitting in the hopper when you tilt to dump.

We use the cart a lot and haven't had a bit of trouble with it or blew a tire out I believe it had a warrenty for so long.. will have to contact Amazon and see what can be done

Plans on the weight on the tires. I have taken 2 trips of over an hour pulling the trailer at 65 - 70 mph and have had no problems. My trailer with boat is pretty light about 850 lbs., i stay under 70.

Haven't had to repolace wheels. Suggest you look on their web site. Other approach-look at wheel-should have size on it just like a tire. Then buy replacement with same size and same axle attachment-note-I usually go with foam filled wheels as they don't deflate and are a bit softer than hard rubber.

I can say that the tires will not hold up over a year. It is disapointing that as we discuss going green you will need to buy new tires if you use this very often.

The tires themselves are not the problem as long as you stay on sidewalks. The BIG problem with the Ultimate Wagon wheels is the front wheels which swivel as the wagon is pulled. When pulling at any more than dead slow speed, the oscillate back and forth making a very poor virbrating and noisy ride. Needs to be fixed somehow. I will try direct contact with American Flyer.

The air wouldn't work to air up tires. I tried it one day after the 30 day warranty ran out, it didn't work and they wouldn't replace it. I was stuck with something that didn't work and still had to pay for it.

Call Barker ASAP. Have your receipt with the order number handy. They were really helpful when I had some questions. Both of ours came from barker with the wheels locked on. Best of luck getting this resolved.

I recently paid my bike shop to do this, they said that due to the way the brake line is there it is tough to remove the back tire. However, they are not against doing it again, so it wasn't horrible.

The instructions are good. I would remove the wheel and tire even though the instructions don't sa to do so. The other thing the installation pictures are taken from the inside looking out. That had me a bit confused for a while.

Air compressor is pretty much useless, except for filling beach balls. Certainly won't fill an automobile tire. I don't have any info on whether the battery is replaceable. If so, it will probably cost as much as a new unit. I bought the unit strickly to start dead batteries. For that purpose, it works well. Hope this helps.

I used irons on the first wheel w/o any problem (inflating the tube slightly). The second wheel was a sick sister. I ruined two new tubes trying to mount the tire the same way. On the third tube, I used a little soapy water on the tire bead, and it seemed to slip in a little easier. I still had to use small irons (it was not even close to fitting otherwise), and I made sure the tube was not close to the wheel rim before lifting the iron. I have probably changed 10 tires without popping one before. These were the most difficult tires to install I have ever run across.

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.

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.

Well, it is not easy to measure the presion as in a tire due the low presion but i used to check punching the boat and pressing, even sitting on it and feeling if it confortable and sure...my experience is that the more i use the boat the more i know how presure i need..try and enjoy it is a very good boat
