Hi, Everybody,
I,ve been looking for a solution to the lack of tires for my ST4 and I think I have
it. It looks like you guys have come to the same conclusion. Hand truck tires, which come in hard rubber, so no need for foam filling. I tried that and it adds so much weight it's rediculous. Thanks for listening. rrossell1
rrossell1, thanks for the added input, and confirmation since you have apparently done this already.
I can only speak to the Magliner brand wheels/tires because that is the brand I use in my warehouse operation, but they have several different types available and they sure seem like they would be a great substitute.
However, I think if I was to run out of tires (I have a half dozen extras) then I would probably use an air filled tire like I have shown in the above photo and simply put some "Slime" or some other similar anti-flat tire product into the tire. It would weigh less than a foam filled tire, provide a reasonable level of flat protection, and would provide more cushion against impact than a solid tire.
Still, I do think that these hand truck tires are a reasonable solution.
Another source for them would be a place like Northern Tool, Tractor Supply Company or maybe Harbor Freight. I know Northern Tool & Harbor Freight both sell over the internet so if there are not locations nearby the tires/wheels could be ordered over the internet.
