Review of the difference between a balloon wheel that has had too much air vs. a balloon wheel that has been inflated and maintained correctly. All balloon wheels will stretch with too much air pressure, deforming the design of the wheel. You can not fix this by simply letting the air pressure out of the wheel, it's permanently damaged. NEVER put max air pressure in a balloon wheel, the pressure will build in the heat (just like any type of tire). Balloon wheels are meant to squat, requires just enough air to start to fill the wheel out. They should be extremely squishy, not firm like a soccer ball or regular tire. - Розваги
Just had this happen with the same exact tires. The tires started to rub the bottom of my cart and I thought it was the bushing or bearing getting loose. I was also afraid the tires would come off the bead as I was on the beach, so I put more air in them. The heat definitely over inflated them the first time I used it. $200 lesson. I didn't realize how little air they needed.
The reason they can squat so much, unlike a car tire, is there is no bead. It's the same design as an inner liner, it's a completely sealed tire. If you had to purchase a new set of tires from us and didn't get a coupon code to do so, shoot us an email so I can take care of that. If you need to purchase a new set, reach out to us first.
I just bought a cart 2nd hand off Marketplace and these tires have been WAY over inflated. So much that the 16 inch wheels are now 20 inch wheels. I didnt pay no mind to it because it's my 1st cart and didn't know any better and they are surprisingly still fairly true. My question is, does a rounded profile tire push/pull more difficult than the square profile tire ? I havent had a chance to get it in the sand yet.
No, either type profile will work fine in the sand. The issue is most of the time overinflated tires will stretch differently, causing bulges. Then the cart bounces around.
Thank you, its so difficult to figure out what pressure u already pumped in, cuz pressure gauge doesnt show anything
It’s more of a feel, you don’t even need 1psi in balloon wheels. You just need enough to start to fill them out.
After you have over inflated your tire and it is out of round can it be repaired or does it have to be replaced?
Thanks
You can try to let the air out to where it should be but you'll still notice a little bit of a lump, just depends on how bad you've stretched the material. Any brand balloon wheel, once the material is stretched out, it does not shrink back. Most of the time you just have to replace them, but again that just depends on how bad they were stretched out. They do not stretch evenly, they turn into a conehead/egg shaped wheel.
Now my beach wheels look like the same on your video, what
S the solutions to make it even?
What are you trying to make even?
I overinflated my tire for less than 15 minutes
I didn't use it at all
I turned on this video and took the air out
My question is do you think by just over inflating it
for less than let's say 15-20 minutes without using it and putting pressure on it
without the wheels being in the suns heat
do you think I ruin the wheel by just over inflating it initially?
Can't say for sure without seeing them, but you probably haven't ruined them. That only happens if the material stretches unevenly making it a cone head or developing a large lump.
I doubt it also they look fine thank you for getting back to me though
I'd like to know how to remove air from these tires. Pushing the stem in doesn't work...
If pushing on the tire to force air out while pushing on the valve stem, you can just remove the valve stem all together.
