Les Schawb tire took one look at them he said I would be wasting my money fixing them. They are crap tires.

Thank you for the demo replacing with no flats! Mine were just delivered. Can’t wait to trash the always flat tires that were the original stock. Your video was the most helpful. Short of buying a mini truck like a Honda ACTY dump truck I will continue to use my utility cart. Now with No Flats. 🌞🌱❤️

You’re a life saver! I have had my gorila cart (different model) for a month and I love it EXCEPT I have had several flats, immediately after my husband filled the air tires. I agree these are going in the TRASH and Gorilla should eliminate them and just put these on. I just bought some from Harbor Freight with foam in them but the shaft was too long. Just placed my Amazon order and can’t wait to get them as I use my cart every day right now. THANK YOU! I will subscribe to your channel. Glad I found you and your video was short. I can’t stand when people ramble when the point is quick and easy.

The tires are fine. The tubes have just gone flat. The problem with tube type tires is that if you don't keep them inflated properly from day one, the tires and tubes will spin on the wheel. Once they spin on the wheel, the valve stems will rub on the sharp edges of the valve stem holes. So I bet that if you use some soapy water as a leak detector, you'll find that the leak was at the valve stem for the tubes. The flaw is that the valve stem holes are not beveled enough and have a sharp edge that cuts into the stems.

I was wondering if my tires were rotting and I had one go flat after about 3 1/2 years and could not remember and now that you’re saying all this with the tube i rememer- because it is cur at the valve stem (I have two more now) but is there someway to keep these on and still or like soften that edge is there any kind of solution because now I suddenly have two more flats and honestly the only time I could have used it would be just rolling it over to my tire pressure thing I just thought at first it may be these were getting rotten with the heat of California with sitting outside in the sun or something as its prob 4 1/2 yrs old now.. and maybe that’s what it is I don’t know I’m just looking for some way to make this tube stay still EVEN if they’re a little under inflated so I don’t cut these at the valve stem again

Similar issue... I tightened the valve inserts one had worked itself slightly loose and was also deflating very fast. This completely solved my tire issues with my Gorilla Cart. Also for some reason I seemed to have lost a pair of my valve caps, bummer, ordered a set of them too so I don't get the usual dirt in the valves. But, if you still have the old wheels, I'd buy them off you.

Thank you for the demo! I just received a pair of No Flat tires to replace the flatties on my Gorilla Cart.

I have the same cart and had the same problem. The tires are complete CRAP. Thank you for the tip!

Thanks for a very useful video! I just received my set of 4 no-flat tires.... ordered from your link and spent about $90 for them. They are $50 each at Ace Hardware.

Looks like those new wheels should be standard on the cart.

I have a Gorilla Evolution wheelbarrow. It has flat free tires but they are hard plastic with a thin rubber skin. Very hand vibrating ride. You feel every ,title thing you run over.

Thank u for this information I’ve replaced my guerilla cart tires all 4 2times I’m going to get these

Thank you so much. I could only put on one washer per tire, but it works fine.

"No flat tyres" from Gorilla Carts is why Gorilla carts are sold with crappy tyres.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Isn't there another company we could buy no-flat tires from? Giving more money to Gorilla Carts to buy replacement tires is just making a solid business case for them to continue selling carts with shit tires.

Why don't they make all tire tubes with fully threaded valve stems so that the stem can be tightened to the wheel rim and never shift and get cut by the edge of the valve stem hole in the wheel? They do this on some motorcycle tire tubes...should be standard on all tubes. Won't stop you from getting a flat from a puncture but would help solve the "cut valve stem" issue.

Wondering if you found the leak before you replaced the tires? Could have been from loose valve stem. You also could have replaced the tubes. Would last for years if you didn't punch a hole in them. I would rather have run flat but they are thinner thread width which I don't like and damn expensive for what they are.

I literally JUST ordered 4 new pneumatic tires from Gorilla yesterday 🤦🏼‍♂️, I should of looked around 1st, mine are around a decade old do I can’t complain, but 1 sounded like a gunshot when it blew out the other day lol

I've had the 7 CU FT poly cart for 15 months with no problems. Keep in mind, the air temp has something to do with the air pressure. You need to keep them fully inflated

Thanks so much for your video. It was very easy to put on the new tires.

THANKS, IM GLAD I FOUND THIS VIDEO. IM THINKING OF BUYING ONE OF THESE CARTS IN THE NEAR FUTURE BECAUSE WHERE I LIVE, MAIL DOESNT COME TO MY HOME, IT GOES TO THE LOCAL SHOP DOWN THE ROAD AND THEY NO LONGER DO HOME DELIVERIES. I DONT HAVE A CAR EITHER SO I HAVE TO BE ON FOOT AND I FELT ONE OF THESE CARTS WOULD BE GOOD FOR PICKING UP MY PARCELS AND MAIL. IM SO GLAD I LEARNT ABOUT THE BLOW UP WHEELS BEING NO GOOD. I THINK WHEELS ARE VERYIMPORTANT ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS. A LOT OF THE SMALL SHOPPING TROLLEYS ARE USELESS BECAUSE THEY NOW PUT PLASTIC WHEELS ON THEM AND THEY BREAK OFF AFTER A WHILE. I THINK ALL WHEELS SHOULD BE RUBBER, I ASSUME THE NEW WHEELS YOU BOUGHT ARE RUBBER.

When you buy something rated as being a "Gorilla" of a cart and it still has center pin steering - you are not getting a Gorilla of a cart, pneumatic tires notwithstanding. The first upgrade I'd do is get rid of it and buy any one of the many heavy duty available carts with articulated steering, then upgrade the tires after I've obtained a cart that tows better and doesn't tip it's front corner when that stupid center pinned rigid axle is turned to ninety degrees to cart axis.

The new carts on Amazon come with no flat now.

That’s because of this video 👍

300 lb per tire makes 1200 with an evenly centered mac load or how does that work

I would've keep the tires and just change the inner tube and just put it away for backup unless the tires rotten.

No way. I’ve got the Gorilla cart and it tips over easily on my trail build that is very hilly. If anything those tires would make it even more tippy…widening the wheels is my next project

I have the same problem, and replaced the standard 10-in pneumatics with solid rubber tires. The wheel hub length was shorter, so I needed a 1-in spacer - which I added to the inside of the axle, putting the tires further out, which made it a lot more steady and haven't had any problems with it tipping since then.

Tell me about it. I can say though, still use it to this day and it got me thru a full house build using it on various heavy heavy haul projects. So, the investment is worth it as long as you keep the cart out of the rain. They do like to rust over time.

@@mlaugh3 Well, the two gorilla carts we have came standard with 10-in pneumatic tires. Which I replaced four solid rubber tires on Amazon - 4 for 42 bucks. Then another 10 bucks for four 1-in spacers, since the hub length on the rubber tires is shorter than the pneumatic ones. I also made sure to get solid rubber tires, not the more common rubber tires with a foam center, which deform and go flat under static environments. I've left heavy loads of bricks, pavers, firewood in there for days and had no issues so far. I did think about going up to a 13-in, but they were more expensive and not necessary, since the load capacity was more than sufficient on the 10-in tires.

Awesome Video! Thank you so much!

FYI. I bought a set of the NO FLATS and one of the tires quickly developed a severe flat spot. I get a constant thump thump thump with use. Debating on ordering a replacement or just go back to pneumatic tires :/

@@Jeromeeb Hi Jeromee! The second set was fine until I used them in a manner that was not recommended. The first set developed a flat spot on one of the tires from sitting for a long period of time with about 75 lbs of weight on the wheel. The second set quickly developed flat spots and fell apart when I tried running them at 30 mph down the street. I ignored the "not for highway use" warning and they subsequently fell apart. Used properly, and not letting excessive weight in the cart for long period would assuredly yield better results.

Does anyone know the wheelbase, front to back , center to center of the wheels? Looking for one to fit in a rear hitch platform on a suv and transport to flea markets.

I know this is a tire vide but curious have you had problems with the metal mesh sides and bottom at all .. I’m trying to decide between the mesh and the rails … some reviews show the mesh pops off at the welds.. I’m guessing it isn’t common but curious how yours has held up !?

Mine don't have that kind of pin holding them on. I have pins that stick through a hole. I don't know if I will be able to get the type of gadget off since they are so rusty. All my tires are bad because I had to leave it outside all year.

So the wheels cost more than the cart....awesome

My big Gorilla has 8 inch tires air filled. Solid tires that size are not worth the cost.

Too bad Gorilla didn't just include these no flat tire as part of the cart. I just got my cart, haven't put air in the tires yet and now I see I'm likely going to have to spend another over 100 dollars for useable tires. Crazy. PS your Amazon link doesn't work now.

Do they flatten out if you leave it sit with a load?

What about spraying inside the tire with Slime (for flat tires)? Some people on youtube seem to go this route successfully. It would be much cheaper.
