What do you prefer-classic plastic tires or air filled rubber tires?

Depends on the use and terrain. Smooth hard surface go plastic. Rougher softer surfaces go air filled rubber.

I prefer plastic because I don't have a pump to keep the air-filled tires properly filled. The air-filled would probably be a little more easy to pull, but if they needed to be reinflated I would have to take it somewhere or rely on someone else to do it.

I prefer the classic tires. I haven't had a problem going anywhere. My 2 year old can pull it without issue on the road as well as in the yard.

The plastic tires are just fine. They are pretty durable in my opinion. The rubber tires are fine, too, but much more expensive. I have a little boy and so far the plastic tires have stood up to him just fine.

The one I purchased had metal but plastics should last. Its no like buying tires for you car.

The tires are a solid rubber. You should be able to squeeze them a little. Rubber in my opinion is better than plastic. It is durable and quiet.

I would recommend going with the large one since the bottom is elastic it will squeeze onto your tires. and fit just right!

Air up tires. Tires made of rubber. Trike metal and plastic. Probably good for bumpy pavement. If its too rough you can always lower the air psi in the tires a little.

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

Plastic, which i prefer since it can take a rock kicked up by another car and not shatter. Its a very solid & durable plastic.

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.

Thanks for your input Melanie! I agree wooden tracks seem more available. The wooden tracks also seem more durable than the plastic tracks because my son is pretty tough on his toys. Buying wooden engines & cars even though they cost a little more than the diecast.

Mine are solid plastic/rubber, but they vary from what i read in the manual. Some are inflatable.

I also swapped out a pair of Kenda 26 X 2.1 Knobby Tires that came with the Mountain bike (Diamondback Response) with these. No problems.Since I'm mainly doing asphalt or hard road riding, it's good to get some street tires. You can really feel the difference.

4 ply holds more air. The side of the tires are stronger It is a better tire.

They are plastic but almost feel rubberized, I expect them to last as long as the rest of the wagon, it's very well made. My new phew recently got a lower priced wagon about 80.00, and those tires seem like they might crack over time or either over exposure to the sun, these don't seem that way at all. ;-)

Go with the one that appeals to you the most. If the wheels are the same diameter, I think that they would be essentially the same.

There are different sizes and prices depending the type of your tire. Michelin has a table guides you pick the right one

The tires are not plastic. They are a hard rubber. Bike taught my daughter how to ride without training wheel!! Would buy it again.

They are rubber, air filled tires with good tread - perfect for bumpy pavement, gravel...you name it.
