My Fly new lawnmower wheels.

I was excited for a minute when i thought you were discussing the “flymo” hovering vacuum from my childhood I tried to get my parents to buy for my lawn duties.

wow googled and looks like it’s still sold in some flavors overseas https://www.flymo.com/uk/products/lawn-mowers/

People still use those in the UK where lawns are the size of postage stamps. Super useful for lower strength folks because they do literally glide around.... but get above a couple inches of grass and you're going to struggle... at least that's how they were 30 years ago when I used one last :D
 



If you ever have to bust that tire down, this stuff is the devil.
 
Put slime in mine and solved the issue. Yes it can be messy when you change it but it was worth the no flats. Tubes don’t seem to hold up well in the small tires for me they always seem to rip the valve stem out where they flex when they run lower air pressure.
 
I thought we were all supposed to be driving on "Tweels" by now?
 
That’s a great choice for zero turn front casters - I just replaced the front tires on my old zero turn - new tires and tubes

Got tired of fighting flats on the
Front.
80 bucks for both from Northern Tool.
Had to add some washer for spacers. If I can go the rest of the summer not fighting a damn flat front tire it will be worth it to me:$

Does the slime work better than the old fix-a-flat? Got a rear tire with a leak and been lazy and haven’t went a picked up a tube yet.

Slimed work for me a little while. I was putting in in the tube front tire. It states it’s for tube and tubeless tires. Worked for about a month

What I figured, not worth the effort. I just need to get off my butt and go get a tube.

I have had mixed results. For tubeless atv tires and other small tires when protecting against thorns and small punctures it works good just be sure you put enough in the tire. The amount on jug is a good starting point. Never much luck putting it in a tube and its not gonna save a dry rotted tire with big cracks. Also there is some pink or other brands that are not corrosive to rims. The green “slime” kind is pretty hard on rims.

I stuck these on mine because I was also tired of dealing with flats. They work fine but are definitely rougher over bumps that pneumatic tires. Basically just solid hard foam so don’t compress much.

Right there with ya. These new tires ride like ass. Probably going back to some kind of air tire
