Which tyres and where from?

Postby Smark67 » 20 Jan 2018, 13:02

Ruling out pneumatic tyres (as I've already done) which do you consider to be the best puncture proof option, solid or the foam filled ones? And also the best (including most economic) place to purchase them please. I need them for 300 x 8 and 200 x 50 split rim wheels. Thanks in advance…

OK solid tyres, foam, green, polyurethane filled etc are all equally crap! I dont think any any better than each other. But if you prefer harsh ride, more difficult control, wasted battery power, flat spots from parking up, faster wear, etc over a nice smooth ride then Ebay for correct size! :mrgreen:

I would stick with pneumatic tyres for a better ride, add some OKO tyre sealant to help with sealing punctures from drawing pins/nails/sharp stones etc...

Silly question (most likely) but how can I find out, or does anybody know, the rim sizes for the wheels on a Permobil M400? Thanks in advance…

Hi, thanks for that… I can't find the rim sizes on it though, any suggestions? Cheers.
