Do you need to lay on the ground to install these or do you just slip these over the tire? I'm old and have a bad back.

There's no need for you to lay on the ground to slip them on. If your able to check the tire pressure on your vehicle, you should have no problem fitting the covers. Just lay a pad or something soft to nealdown on

They are easy to install with moderate bending to reach the back side of the tire when you pull them over the top of the tire. They just slide over and I have had no issue with them blowing off. They are in great shape after being used on my trailer parked in the Arizona sun and they are showing very little signs of wear. I have had them for approximately 2 years.

My grandchildren play with them on the cement in my back yard. Pavement doesn't work and I wouldn't want them going down hill on them. I think a flat surface outdoors is what they do.

There's an insert that you put inside the bag to make them still and not floppy. Once you have them strapped down they rest on the frame by the tires but they're structured enough that they don't flop around or get in the spokes.

When I attached these I didn't press them down where my spine is...I let them lay on the skin on either side. It seemed to do all right that way. Hope they work for you.

Strao that sucker down and adjust the bolts on the rack to let the tire drop in the slot. They have straps for the wheels too ! Keep the rubber side down !

Instructions says not to lay on it. You use it just as in PT, lay it over the area needed. You van prop something against it too.

They are a bit thin. I recommend something thicker for things over 400 degrees. I suppose you could double up, but that could be very dangerous if they slip.

Just bought a small hand pump to pump them up as mine went soft as well. You could probably put some "tire flat" in them to help seal the bead of the tire to the rim better.

Yes, I installed them following the curve of a sidewalk path. They are actually fairly easy to install. I first really wet the ground and they slide right into the ground with a little bit of pressure. Then, I assembled them. I finally added black plastic ties to make the connection stronger. They have held up really good almost one year.

I put the tire on both front and back and they work fine. Although, riding surface does matter. The tire seems to create friction on hard surfaces due to soft tire nubs.

It depends on how actively you exercise and how good is your balance. I bought the bars for another model and as yet have not installed them. But If I took it outside and really grabbed some air, may go ahead and install. Otherwise using in a corner or near some furniture is helpful if you need to stabilize. You can always order later if unsure.

I mounted them under the truck bed in front of the spare tire. They are bolted to the floor on a slight angle so they would fit the short Bed. Tight but they fit.

There is a video on the BackJoy website ... www.backjoy.com that shows you how to position these. Someone has commented on this that should not have - these are intended for sitting only - NOT lying down.

Mine are installed on the sides facing the inside of the power rack. While its a little annoying because I have to take them out to do other exercises in the rack if you install them on the outside unless yours is bolted or weighted heavily to the floor your will tip your rack. The inside though feels perfectly fine, right distance apart. I personally don't even bother using the bolt that came with them to hold them in place. The force of doing the dip keeps them from any movement.

I haven't had any problem dropping any material, pellet, granular or powder. The tires have a tread on them, but not excessive. I would imagine that you need some tread so you have traction.

Back is rough. Slippage depends on your surface. I have never found slipping a problem.

I've had no problems with tires. Easy to install. They sat outside in my shed all winter in below freezing temps and still had almost all air pressure.
